3DMars Survey ship

cazman101

This is something I'm currently working on. I had and idea for a different style of space ship as I've had a tendency to build quite a few battleships and military vessels and felt like I wanted to try something not so futuristic something that looks not too distant future. So I came up with a design for a Mars survey ship its not quite finished and I haven't got a name for it yet but anyway here it is.

One of the more realistic designs, I have ever seen.

Now, this nuclear thermal design has potential: http://www.nasa.gov/images/content/145956main_NTR_borowskii.jpg

But I would like to see it with a Terran Trade Authority paint job, with yellow and black--using this type of script:

The name(s) in English would be "Wishing Hard" in English, as per Carl Sagan relating a tale about how a man was able to travel by thought. Well, the thoughts lead to action--and this ship would be a result.

The vessel we see above would make a nice cycler--perhaps leaving a ring station behind at Mars, with the second ring segment being a cycler itself.

I like it! Currently in the new-future mood myself... it's nice to see cool realistic designs.
