The Vulco-Glowstone was a Drood space vehicle that acheived the first flight of any man, on Morgan Fuller himself, inventor of the liquid-fuelled rocket, in 1959, and seven other manned flights over the next year.

Design

Standing at a relatively small 14.6 meters tall, the Vulco-Glowstone was never designed with orbit in mind. It was simply a rocket that got someone to space. Because of this low expectation, the rocket is actually quite cheap, at just 2.6 million Drubles. The LES was the most carefully designed area of the rocket, as in case of a faliure, it had to have a 100% success rate. Three engines propel the capsule away from the failing body of the rocket, and separate when their solid fuel is used up.
