When I built my Aurora model kit of the Space Coupe a hundred years ago, I was frustrated by the question of scale. The kit included tiny figures about one inch tall, but that didn’t match anything Gould showed us.In fact, interior views show the Space Coupe as having a roomy flight deck, but exterior views show passengers appearing in the window as much larger (just as Joe has here!)So just how big or small IS that thing? (And don’t tell me it’s bigger on the inside than the outside; the Coupe is many things but it is not dimensionally transendental.)
