What about Atompunk? Is that a thing? Like, fiction set in a world where the promise of nuclear power in the 1950s and 60s had paid off? We really do have power too cheap to meter. And now there's an alternate world in which there's the aesthetics of the 50s and 60s, but advanced technology based on atomic power and maybe space travel cuz that was also big then.

Kyle Sudrow was an actor, not hugely famous but most associated with the soap opera The Guiding Light.
He also did some work for the SF radio programs X Minus One and Dimension X. So, rather appropriately, he tried to launch a little bit of the future in the early 60s with the Helipod, a one-person VTOL craft.

@yombo @TheSpaceshipper I think you are correct, The "Cyberpunk derivative" wikipedia page says it was updated with #Atompunk on Nov 6 2023 with new sources. Maybe it was added in March (with additional writers) - so yeah it seems like it might be something modern. Unless I'm reading the history wrong.

So apparently I'm a fan of #Atompunk and didn't know it, I didn't even know it was a thing until I think I saw a post from @TheSpaceshipper that said something about it.
I really do enjoy a lot of the "B" Sci-Fi movies from the 50s and 60s, and a lot of those fall into the Atompunk genre

A mission profile for the Goodyear Meteor that is outside the usual one. Instead of heading to space, a suborbital passenger service from London to Los Angeles.

I found this peculiar thing on eBay, a scan of the editorial page to a 1962 special issue of the magazine Royal Airforce Flying Review.
I'll let the accompanying text speak for itself. But I'll add that I can only presume that it was a one-off for the purposes of showing off and not at all a serious proposal. You'd think otherwise there'd be *some* other documentation of it.
The original was at an oblique angle, so I fixed that in PS and did some other cleanup.

Another image using the "step" term I mentioned yesterday, in this case its title being "2-Step Space Station Rocket" from 1952. It's an illustration by Jack Coggins for a book co-written with Fletcher Pratt. Both straddled the line between illustrating/writing for science and science fiction. Coggins in particular did covers for Galaxy, F&SF, and Thrilling Wonder.
He was also into other bleeding-edge forms of transportation, as shown in the second pic.

Two-page spread from Popular Mechanics' 5/1949 issue. Either author Ley or Wernher von Braun deserve the title of Chief Popularizer of Rockets in the post-war, pre-Sputnik era. Ley got a head start as von Braun was still at Fort Bliss when this was printed.
Two notes: the first page uses the Americanism of the time, "steps" instead of stages. That word would disappear in a few years. And the quote from Forrestal is unfortunate, as he'd be dead before the month was out.
