Design for space adventure video game "Loadstar" created by veteran film designer Ron Cobb. The theme of "Loadstar" was the satirical merging of Star Wars with the CB trucking culture popularized in the 1970s. The design approach emphasized by Cobb was to root even the most ridiculous idea in real-world engineering principles. The Gnat was one of a vast fleet of vehicles featured in the game. Designed as a sort of one-man security pod, the Gnat has many of the same principles worked in as were used in various NASA vehicles of the past.
