Retro space with Atomic Rocket
Here’s a cool page that has a lot of information on Rockets and other space goodies. Atomic Rocket is great place to go for inspiration for a retro space pulp game.

    Sam Elliott as an aeronautical cowboy aside, you're in for a sore disappointment if you're looking for pulp in The Golden Compass. The books were more along the lines of a theological epic quest. The hero, Lyra, comes to find out that her destiny is to put an end to fate by helping God die.
