the Chariot typically shows us forward momentum, shows us force and energy and motivation. And here we have space shuttles blasting off instead of horses (or sphynxes) pulling chariots along. They are not pulling in different directions, as the horses often do on other chariots, so the card lacks that energy of a moment of choice, of needing to choose which path (or horse) you are going to follow and devote that energy to.
In, among, and above the swirl of smoke and flame, peering sadly out of darkness, Einstein looks over our shoulder wondering (probably) what the hell we are doing now. A gentle, humorous man, he deserved a gentle death, and got a tortured one instead, amongst strangers. Gone is any humour or cheek: here, he watches a peoples who have despoiled one planet, taking baby-steps towards finding another.
The Chariot often cautions us against letting the power of our technology (from muscular horses to space shuttles) drive us and make our directional decisions for us: these forces are immensely powerful, but it is up to the Charioteer to rein in them firmly and keep control. Otherwise, he is likely to go tumbling through the flexible and flexing gravity-wells that Einstein described.
