This is a new discovery for me - a 1969 card Apollo Moonbase set including a deadringer for the SWORD Moon Prospector. I can't find out anything else about this brilliant set. Can anyone help? picture courtesy of the Dreams of Space (link in the side-bar).
The rocket in that set is a variant on the Wernher von Braun Ferry Rocket, first seen in "Colliers Magazine" in the 1950s! It was this rocket that was the inspiration for the conical rocket in a number of sets (some of which you've shown on this blog) with four rocket nacelles on the fins and two nacelles on canard outriggers.
