* So, as a retrofuturistic hero ship, am I correct in assuming this vehicle can land on a planet? Hmm.. that would mean it lands on its tail (which looks strangely cool.. I am imagining a space port with a bunch of these 'discs' in various sizes towering majestically, as 50s spacerockets tended to do).
* In case it doesn't land, does it carry any auxilliary craft?
* You mentioned both Forbidden Planet
and The Day The Earth Stood Still
, so the inevitable question is... are there going to be robots? :P
* I take it the disc itself is mainly propulsion? Antigravity? Puttkamer/Alcubierre-warp?
