Just in time for Christmas, we've added two new EXCLUSIVE artworks by Steve Johnson of "SCIFISTEVE.COM" fame. You can find these new art in the Ad Astra Art Gallery or by looking up the famous C57-D Flying Saucer in Docking Bay 85.
They won't be available forever, so don't miss your chance to own one of these unique artworks.
SciFiSteve has authorized RogersRocketships.com to be his sole outlet for these drawings. Get yours today! |
The Flying Saucers have landed.
Look in Docking Bays 79 through 95 to discover
these latest additions to our fleet.
Some have never been seen before!
Most are featured in "The Saucer Fleet"

WATCH THE DOCKING BAYS
New Flying Saucer Art and Design Drawings are coming in time for Christmas. Over the next few weeks you will watch them land. Be the first to have a new flying saucer for Christmas. New designs never published before will be presented.
WATCH THE SKIES!
They're COMING to Ad Astra Spaceport Soon!

I hope you like the new expanded information available in the Docking Bays! The Upgrade is complete. It has delayed the arrival of the Saucer fleet somewhat but I think it is worth it. The saucers will be along directly.
In the meantime, take a look at your favorite Spaceship entry. There is more to see now. Plus easy links to other places of Interest. |
RogersRocketship is changing!
Visit the Docking bays 1 through 10 to see our progress. More Information, better pictures AND easier links to your favorite Spaceships AND a new HONOR ROLL listing of GREAT MODELS our fans have built from our Design Drawings. We're improving for YOU!
Keep Watching The Skies! |
Port Authority reports that the first flying saucer has landed. Today we celebrate the arrival of what may be the most famous flying saucer in history, Klaatu's Saucer from "The Day the Earth Stood Still" This Iconic saucer may be responsible for the whole flying saucer movement! Its mysterious. Its an inigma! See it soon at Docking Bay 78...if you can.
Other saucers will be landing here in the near future but today we celebrate the arrival of Klaatu's Saucer!
KEEP WATCHING THE SKIES!!! |
For those who follow those things, The Ad Astra Spaceport website will be undergoing a re-organization soon.
In order to make more information available to prospective Spaceship Captains and other Archeologists, we will be moving all spaceship information into the relevent Docking Bay for each ship. The Data Drawing area in the Trade Zone will now focus completely on the Data drawings themselves.
We believe this will make for a better, more consistent presentation and reduce confusion.
We are starting to plan other additions and extentions of the SpacePort.
We appreciate your patience. We solicite your comments and suggestions as to how to improve the website.
Stay Tuned. |
As you can tell, events beyond our control have delayed the landing of the Saucers. After distractions have kept us away for a month we are now at work again producing the files and documentation necessary to bring you the most famous Flying saucers in History.
Please be patient. We will keep you informed when they actually begin arriving.
Until then
KEEP WATCHING THE SKIES!!! |
05-08-09 Saucers from "The Saucer Fleet" have been detected approaching Earth! Look for them to start arriving at Ad Astra Spaceport soon!
We anticipate beginning to add the saucer Data Drawings from "the Saucer Fleet" to our collection of spaceships at the Docking Bays within a week or two. While they will doubtless slip into their respective Docking Bays quietly one at a time, it has been rumored there will be some data drawings among them that were NOT featured in the book. THAT'S RIGHT! Saucer Drawings You have never seen before!
We'll keep you posted as we learn more!

I apologize that it took me so long to get to writing this report on the convention. After my return I was swamped filling orders and taking care of other business. I'm just now getting back into the 'swing of things.'
I had a great time at Norwestcon 32 It was a pleasure to meet so many of you fans. Since this was only my second Convention, I was unsure of what I would encounter. As it happened, from Thursday until Sunday I was kept busy with all of the fans who either brought their books for signing or having never heard of either the Spaceship Handbook or the Saucer Fleet stopped by to learn about them and purchase a copy from me.
Also, My art got a lot of attention and admiration every day of the convention. Many people were amazed at the photorealistic detail I have created in Ad Astra and my other Art works. I was kept busy by dozens of people who stopped by daily to admire and ask questions. I discovered that it was unfortunate that I had signed up too late to display my art in the Artists Gallery as, judging from the response I got, it would have made quite an impression there!
All in all, it was a successful and profitable Convention showing. (Even if it did take me a couple days to catch up on my work after my return.) Yes, I will consider doing it again. I hope you had as much fun as I did and if all goes well, I may see you there again next year.
Clear Space!

I was at the 7th Emerald City Comic Convention in Seattle Wash Apr 4 & 5. I answered so many questions that I got a little hoarse. The fans were great and I got lots of complements from people viewing my art. Since this was my first Convention experience on my own, I viewed it as a learning experience. And it was a great success. I met and visited with over 70 people who were amazed at the amount of work that Jack and I put into our books and I had put into my artwork. the other vendors complimented me on the number of people my little exhibit was able to attract.
One of the results of the Convention was in meeting Judd Lawson who was instrumental in my being able to secure a spot at the upcoming Norwestcon. This was a total surprise as I had already tried and failed as that convention (which is held only a week after ECCC --as its called) had been full for months.
I must also say that sharing a space with the fine fellows who put out the new movie, "Kung Fu Joe" was also a rewarding experience. This enterprising bunch of Avant Guard Movie makers showed me that the movie industry has overlooked a lot of talent and that Bellingham WA is becoming something of a center for new film releases! Way to go guys!
So after two long hard but rewarding days, I was happy that I had attended. I had met some new friends, learned a lot and had the opportunity to attend a SCi-Fi Con that I thougtht I wouldn't be able to.
So, Norwestcon, here we come!
Hope to see many of you Rocketship Captains there!
