Yeah, but thunderbolts, tornados, meteors, tsunamis, etc.  are also 
associated with  _raw_ power and destruction.

Rockets also represent 'the final frontier', high-tech engineering.  
Besides,  designing a package solid enough to pass the boost review 
process _is_ rocket science :-)

A construction crane might makea good metaphor--solid and work-a-day, 
but also staid.
