  • Each rocket is a column (height above, name below in up to two lines, 84 pt wide), so labels can't overlap.
  • Rounded bars replaced by a rocket silhouette (RocketShape: ogive nose, body, fins), still drawn to height and diameter at one scale.
  • Dashed height lines every 25 m, labelled on a fixed axis at the left that the rockets scroll beneath.
  • Tapping a rocket opens its page. On a rocket's own page that rocket is red, not a link, and scrolled into view.
  • The Library's Rockets to scale screen gets a one-line intro and uses the full height.
  • Photos were not used: they are launch photos with backgrounds, angles and framing that don't line up to a common scale.
