There's something poetic about the way a rocket launches. I'm hopeful that today's resurgence in interest for rocketry and innovation will bring about a new generation of engineers and scientists.

This is from a speculative future where we're confident enough to launch in rain. Actually, I had drawn the initial ascent with a ridiculous gravity curve, but I couldn't fully erase it. By that time I had drawn a lot of the launch clouds, and didn't want to start over. So I drew heavy clouds to cover it up!

My charcoal isn't thin enough for fine detail, making the rocket look a like misshapen. It's also partially a scanning issue. I was thinking the rocket was some Falcon variant of the near-future.
