Rocket Ship Galileo model 04

Heinlein provides very little description of the Galileo's appearance but is specific in describing functions. He mentions several times that the space craft has "nose jets" for deceleration and "belly jets" for vertical take off and landing. The nose jets on the model were made by cutting styrene tubing into the underside of the nose so that they are parallel with each other and with the center line of the fuselage.
