So I spent the past week designing this...

[The Raging Sandwich]

I spent the last week or so designing my own spacecraft. The capsule, rocket, space suit, engine, control panel, everything! Here are pictures (some aren't completed):

The spacecraft

The full assembly

Spacecraft labeled

Spacecraft diagram

Control panel (incomplete)

Rocket diagram

Engine/turbopump diagram

Space suit diagram

Hope you liked it, feel free to give any thoughts on it (and yes, it is based off of Mercury).

Welcome to the forum, Mr. Faget! Very nice to see you here!

Awesome! Will you be developing this further?

I designed this for my book Fly Higher, but I don't know. I thought it would just be something fun to design.

@The Raging Sandwich: And that is how it begins! Many years ago, I started a notebook like that. Started by drawing actual space vehicles, such as Saturn series, the Mercury series, then on to the Space Transport System (space shuttle). By the time I reached 10th grade, I was designing my own spacecraft. Because of numerous moves and the passage of time, I managed to lose that notebook. If I ever found it, I think I would actually use KSP to test those designs!

Frak, my drawing skills are awful, but I do have some stuff to show...

Admittedly, some of that stuff involves deuterium-tritium antimatter-catalyzed fusion. Yeah, I wanted an RSS SSTO, and with dV to spare. My intentions were not peaceful.

I sometimes do stuff like this (but still less advanced and realistic than your design )

That rocket is really cool!

So, here's my crаppy fusion torch. I'm adding an image from CoaDE that simulates the exhaust.

Should I resort to Paint to preserve your eyes in the future?

Sure, by all means.

Wait, I only made this thread 10 days ago? Seems like months.
