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!

A little more gear detail.

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.
