Oh wow - it's already the featured MOC in .space. So that's why my Brickshelf folder was getting so many hits... This MOC was inspired by the recent thread about relativistic rocks. There isn't much to it, so I thought I'd provide a backstory using (...) (22 years ago, 18-Feb-03, to lugnet.space)

(...) Great backstory, and what a terribly lonely life that must be. It's a nifty little design too, very compact, with clearly no wasted space. Adrian -- (URL) (22 years ago, 18-Feb-03, to lugnet.space)

This is so cool Jeff...I love the space as a new frontier designs. The interior is just beautiful...looks so 'realistic' and meshes wonderfully with the backstory. The bunk w/lockers on the ceiling is awesome...great 3 dimensional thinking. Any (...) (22 years ago, 18-Feb-03, to lugnet.space)

Jeff, I really really like this, but only partly because of the bricks. The model itself is fairly functional, as it should be, but I mostly enjoyed how you created something that could conceivably be built. You've taken .space out of our regularly (...) (22 years ago, 18-Feb-03, to lugnet.space)

Jeff, VERY elegant use of space, with true three-dimensional thinking. This looks like it could be the answer to one of those problems professors used to throw out in architecture school. I'm also impressed with provisions for the crewperson's (...) (22 years ago, 19-Feb-03, to lugnet.space)

This is great. The MOC looks very realistic, and the color scheme and isolated greeblies really work well. The interior is awesome- the computor panels, bed, cabinets, and the 'batteries' at the back all work to create a great interior. The (...) (22 years ago, 19-Feb-03, to lugnet.space)

Good Job Jeff. That thing is great. Nothing like having one window and looking out of it into the blackness of space to keep you sane for a year. That makes me laugh. Great background story. Jamie www.ozbricks.com/jneufeld (...) (22 years ago, 23-Feb-03, to lugnet.space)
