ERRATUM: COLOR

 

REUSABLE LAUNCH VEHICLE ART CONCEPT --- Rockwell International’s Reusable Launch Vehicle (RLV) X-33 comparison concept.”

“ERRATUM”. Really? A $25 word normally associated with legitimate scholarly & literary works/publications, here applied to the correction of a half-assed $1.01 caption.

As expected, the image is not to be found at the “NASA Image and Video Library” website, only of Lockheed Martin’s winning VentureStar proposal. A minor miracle in and of itself.
