One minor nitpick. Ok, it's not really minor. It drives me crazy!

A rocket constantly firing its engines would constantly be accelerating.

But they are really cool animations. You just fooling around or is it for a project?

P.S. If you want to make them genuinely retro you should have smoke rising from the jet exhaust.

 Just fooling around, I've got all these models I've made over the years and I might as well put them to use.

 I know about the rocket engines but the idea is to try to make it look like the old movies. I look at the NASA channel and when they show the Russian spacecraft maneuvering around the station, those little puffs of exhaust just don't inspire.

 I'll also keep those huge-ass fins on the rockets, too.

>P.S. If you want to make them genuinely retro you should have smoke rising from the jet exhaust.

  True, and have the smoke rising UP, with tiny sparks shooting out.

 Why did the Buck Rogers' serials spacecraft look like old flat irons ?

  Thanks for the reply,

Oh, yeah, the tiny sparks! I forgot about those.

I hope the image I put in below works, a page from my current sketchbook.

Nope. Quote me to see how to do it.

Damn, you're fast, I had just figured out how to do it when you posted.
