I can't remember how I found the web site Atomic Rockets, but it sure is cool. It has a good bit of technical content including basic rocketry equations and nomograms, but it also covers many of the fine points of SF-inspired space ship design. The whole site is illustrated with a fantastic mix of images and text excerpts from classic SF books and films, vintage NASA photos and line drawings, and even photos of B-29 and B-36 cockpit panels on the "control deck" page. Flagged for further exploration when I get back from China and Japan in about a week...
