Beautiful work, Nick! There is a eerie beauty to ships designed for the reality of spaceflight.

Thanks guys! Stuhlinger was one of von Braun's team and he pretty much wrote the book on ion engines... It's very nearly done, I'll be producing final videos with the mirror assemblies twirling around soon!
