There is not only modeling to be done, but some tinkering for rendering purposes. The tip of the Orion’s pointy nose seems to vanish.

  1. OOH my god, is that big rocket a Nexus Booster !?

  2. Yes. By this point in the program, Orions were no longer ground-launched. Nexus was a commonly-illustrated way to get Orion to orbit. Nexus was designed by Convair/General Dynamics. General Atomic was owned by… General Dynamics. Shazam!

  3. Whoa! I am looking forward to this one.
