General Electric published their Apollo D-2 in December 1962 at the American Astronautical Society symposiume in Denver, CO. This American design has many similarities to the early Russian spacecraft designs.

Famous quotes containing the words related and/or craft:
“Women stand related to beautiful nature around us, and the enamoured youth mixes their form with moon and stars, with woods and waters, and the pomp of summer. They heal us of awkwardness by their words and looks. We observe their intellectual influence on the most serious student. They refine and clear his mind: teach him to put a pleasing method into what is dry and difficult.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“In my craft or sullen art
Exercised in the still night
When only the moon rages
And the lovers lie abed
With all their griefs in their arms,”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
