I'm impressed. It's a daring and bold concept. While I'm no rocket scientist I'd have to say there's a lot of potential and I'd like to see it fly. Tho' from my untrained point of view there do seem to be some minor technical aspects of the design to overcome, but the core is there. After-all, we all know that what keeps a ship flying is love and the above design proposal has an abundance of that (from what I can tell from the schematics, I would say it even has redundant-backup love systems built in). I hope NASA goes forward w/ this project.


Shiny post, thanks for sharing. :)

That's very cute.............but I really wonder how far away something like that really is...........I am a great believer that the tech is allready there, and jeez loueez, at the rate this planet is falling apart, hadn't we better start giving such things some thought?

We're gonna crash? I don't wanna crash!

Why is that pic only rated 2/5?

C'mon Browncoats, start voting!

It's adorable and looks quite roomy.

I voted to give it a lift(off).

Oh for cute!!
Not sure I'd feel comfortable flying in it without more detailed schematics though.

I wonder if it travels FTL?

A fine rendering. Got my vote.
Fully retractable landing gear particularly interesting.
