It’s turning out quite well. You put in fuel tanks! Excellent. I don’t like the space wheel, but then I have a pet hate of space wheel nozzles. I’d like to see what the whole thing looks like with a dorsal fin, too.

You’ve taken on quite a challenge there, young master Lenny. I’m looking forward to seeing how you incorporate features in to deal with the periods when the crew are experiencing g’s (e.g. engine thrust). Me, I’d probably just assume that it had g’s due to engine thrust all the time... but then I’m lazy like that :-)
