The other day Dale wanted to know if my avatar was from Flash Gordon. [ It is from the movie " Metropolis " ] Anyway, that got me to thinking about finding some pictures of those old movies and toys and things from the 1930s because they are soooo funky-looking---I just love all that Art Deco weirdo stuff!!  Bucky
 
Actually, the movie "Metropolis" did influence American movies ( including Flash Gordon and Buck Rogers and all those guys...) ....anyway here is a modern rendition of Flash Gordon's Rocketship. 
 
This one is for Dale!!   Excellent

I wonder what those strings were attached to, way out there in space...
Opinion,untempered by fact,is ignorance.

There are some who do not fear death... for they are more afraid of not really living
