We applaud efforts like the Ansari X-Prize and the Google Lunar X-Prize, which seek to have the common man (well, more common than NASA, anyway) come up with designs for workable spacecraft.

Next they need to match their technological-genius winners up with people like illustrator/designer/cartographer Ryan Wolfe, whose freelance and commissioned illustrations of spacecraft combine the fantastic with the "You know, we might actually be able to build that." Check out 60 of Wolfe's kick-X concepts here.
