Nice interior!! Is that an ejection seat? I’ve been trying to work on these
sorts of things more lately, and have been looking closer at seating and
control details.

Yes, that’s an ejection seat. In space it is useless. But if the craft has an
emergency in atmosphere the pilot can eject and parachute to safety.

What is inside the big engine in the back? I can’t quite
tell what’s going on in there, though it is obviously trans antifreeze..

Those are stacked 1 x 2 plates in trans neon green. Behind them, inside the
engine block, are white bricks so that the trans stuff looks brighter. The
engine itself is a combo-- a central ion propulsion engine with hyperdrive and
then 2 scramjet engines on either sides for atmospheric flight (see the intakes
at the front of the engine section?).
