Special Thanks to David Johansen

for the concept of trading chance of success

for quality of success

From his excellent RPG “Galactic Adventures”

Used here with his permission

Special Thanks also to Rick “Schatten” Palumbo

Who did a lot of the groundwork

including the soviet space services badge

before disappearing into the Aether

of the Web

Thanks, Rick!

special Thanks also to Dan “Pounce” Potter

Who helped me refine Cold Space

Into a far nicer package

Thanks, Dan!

And a Huge thank You goes to My playtesters:

Klaxon Bowley

El Zambo

Adam Jarrell

Paul Calo

James Belmonte

Albert Bailey

Rachel Bailey

Marco Chacon

Rich Parkinson

Without them, Cold Space would be nothing but a ragged

collection of half baked ideas

From Better Mousetrap Games

Hot Red Rocket

Steamin’ down the skyway ‘tween Deimos an’ Mars

Lookin’ out the window at a sky full o’ stars

Cruisin’ with my lady an’ I’m tryin’ to be seen

In my hot red rocket...

With the star-bright sheen

(Chorus)

Hot red rocket, star-bright sheen

Never has there been any rocket so mean!

Whoa, whoa! Hot red rocket, star-bright sheen

Cruisin’ with my lady...

In her tight blue jeans

Tight blue jeans

Oh them tight, tight, tight, tight blue jeans

Stoppin’ with my friends an’ tryin’ to be cool

Playin’ like a movie star an’ feelin’ like a fool

I say to all my buddies “Come an’ see my machine

She’s that hot red rocket...

With the star-bright sheen”

(Chorus)

Then I take my baby to the Phobos dance

She’s lookin’ so fine in her skin tight pants

Steppin’ out the door, she is lookin’ so so lean

by that hot red rocket...

with the star-bright sheen

(Chorus)

Hot red rocket, star-bright sheen

Never has there been any rocket so mean!

O Hot red rocket, star-bright sheen

Cruisin’ with my lady...

In her tight blue jeans

Tight blue jeans

Oh them tight, tight, tight, tight blue jeans

Yeah them tight, tight, tight, tight blue jeans

Whoa those tight, tight, tight, tight blue jeans
