Full gallery is here. Actually I was just joking but now that I think about in hind sight, it might make a good mod request.

I saw this, this afternoon on gizmag and was stunned... This is such an awesome design. What really was most surprising is, that this design is actually done by NASA... maybe we will be granted a glimpse into interstellar travel in this lifetime... hmmmmm

[Jon Tash]

Oooh I like that design! Double rings and a saucer section that looks like a ship coming from Star Trek.

You can kinda build this using structural panels if you use them in a creative way. But yeah we really need some more structural parts. I really wish they had some parts that could be scaled as you liked. And we really also need some windows/transparent panels. I wonder why they just cant add a feature so you can replace the textures as well as making parts transparent.

could easily be done with procedural parts mod

When I get my pc back ill try to make a mod of this, it looks cool

[sal_vager]

It's beautiful....

I want this, it's going to dev suggestions so there's more chance they'll see it

Pssshh, of course its called the 'Enterprise'

The KSP Interstellar mod has an alcubierre drive included... No idea about the rest of it.

I don't know why NASA are wasting their time "designing" this. We know so little about warping that it's similar to asking people to design space capsules in the 1800s

Even NASA does not have the parts to build it.

It's PR. A lot of people are talking about this ship design, even though it's pie-in-the-sky speculation. The more people talking about NASA and their plans, the easier it will be for them to secure funding (hopefully!).

there has been allot of promising research done on this subject recently but it still requires proof of concept

i am hopeful that the equations they have calculated work out for all our sakes this planet cant take too much more ....and yes i know space travel dose not solve a fundamental problem with the human condition but it can buy us time to solve it ..at least that is my hope.
