Description
A serious design for an ion engine powered manned Mars rocket. The nuclear reactor is at one end, the manned compartment safely 150 metres away at the other end. The big "vanes" are for cooling, and the rocket is there to descend to the surface of Mars when it arrives.

Very faithful and well-detailed model of that design, significantly better than most of the attempts I've seen people do. Quite spectacular!
