"Is that a Tesla?"

Yep. The fastest car in the universe.

An excellent yarn. I enjoyed reading it immensely. In fact I still have a copy and I think I’ll re-read it.

Arthur C Clarke "Rendezvous with Rama".

Clarke's "Rama" was not covered with verdant forests!

I am reminded of the film THE SPACE COWBOYS...

That’s no moon, that’s a Space Station.

Just as long as it doesn’t exhibit anomalous acceleration...

Night of the Living Dead?
Yep. That’s how it started.
A Venus probe returned.

It’s the Winnebago that Lone Starr and Barf travel in from Spaceballs.

Remember the book, but not the artist conception. Original book was not illustrated

You're (still) speaking about "Rendezvous with Rama," right?

My copy (which I think was a first printing) actually had a hole in the cover, which could also fold out into a multi-panel illustration of the interior of "Rama."
