One plea: keep it fairly plausible: please use rockets, of "pulp" performance if you must, but not anti-gravity; that's already catered for with "Space:1889" and the like. I really like the idea of 1920s spaceflight; I could game out the whole history of the exploration of the pulp solar system!

That would be interesting to have rules for movement in areas where there is no gravity--except for spinning the spacecraft around. Might make for some interesting fumbles
