Description

I've been looking at old NASA designs, and I'm trying to get this to look like something that was designed in the late 1960s/early 1970s. Also, hoping there's a bit of a "2001: a Space Odyssey" look to it.

Very evocative of 2001 and always, your modeling work is superb -- very reminiscent of designs of the late Apollo pre-shuttle era, well done!

Very cool. I remember this look from a study of Lunar exploration ships. This would land vertically and the crew and material would exit from a door near the bottom. For all you nigglys out there that question the word door. Doors are set in the bulkheads and allow horitzonal passage, Hatches are set in the deck and overhead and allow vertical passage.
