New spaceship - Exploration Lander

I find the design of the cybertruck anything but lazy.

Although the engineering is cool, I find the truck ugly and a very lazy design. If it were almost anything other than a truck, it might be cool. Like say, a boat.
This is a cool concept truck. I may try to model something like this next.

My design is really nothing new. The squared off cone is quite common for the very reason you state: it's a robust, economical design.
This one actually flew.

Here's a variation concept.

There are a couple of others, so what I'm making is nothing new, just a variation on a sound engineering design.
But thanks for the compliment!

More roughing out of the crew space. Very rough. Mostly just getting the scale for now.

Looking good, mate. Do you have any idea for a lifting mechanism to get people and kit on the surface?

Thanks Mike.
Yeah, working on both central elevator and external hatch that flip up with extending frame elevator ideas.

Rough-out of the internal elevator placement and scale.

Redesigned RCS controls.
