Future rockets

>Above we have averted the curtain of the future and taken a peek at what space rockets of the near future will look like. The first on the left "Scout" (18,000 kN thrust) uses solid propellants, which may significantly lower its cost. Perhaps as soon as 1962, the 3-stage giant "Saturn", which has a first stage thrust of 800,000 kN, and which may be able to take supplies to the first researchers on the Moon. The next step has only single-chamber, though it is equally powerful, which in 1970 will be developed to be the multichambered, 3,000,000 kN "Vega" rocket (second from the right). Around 1970 we may have the first ion-spraying engine, which as the final frontier in space propulsion can take spacecraft to the edges of our solar system (third from the right). Nuclear rockets, which utilize uranium as their reactors' fuel, should be ready around 1975 to carry payloads which other rocket types can't.

1/3 of a full thing, here's a quick look at about Luna 1 and Pioneer IV in the midst on 1959.
In the image are future spaceships which were expected to be developed by the US.
