I was thinking more Iron Sky than DW.

The JS-4 upper stage of the Jarvis-C launch vehicle burns to take its two payloads into a near-geostationary orbit.

Why does this remind me of the view from inside of a Babylon5 shadow ship?

Kinda looks like the Romulan ship from Star Trek: Lens Flare.

Because it is.

Wow, I missed that one by a solid AU

He even said it was the "Narada ship"

First WIP shot of the VC from the same scenario / project shown here

I'd start a proper dev-thread but I'm having trouble settling on a name. "Spider & Gumdrop" is the current working title but I have plans to expand beyond the the historical LM + CSM and I want the name to reflect that. Unfortunatly "Beyond Apollo" is already claimed.

Looks good, although I dont quite recognize it as the good old Apollo CM just yet. Are you thinking of doing Apollo first, then expanding it to something modern day, or is the focus going to be on Apollo Applications?

I think you'll beat me to the punch in releasing capsules, but I'll get there eventually

Ok, apparently I just got hit with driver limitations on my geek card, I didn't recognize the reference

Feel stupid now

Apollo NextGen perhaps? (ANG) or Helios? Helios and Apollo being similar but different; Apollo was an Olympian while Helios was a Titan (see kids what you learn while taking a mythology course).

Don't worry, I wouldn't recognize a lot of sci-fi references. (such as the aforementioned Babylon 5 franchise)

Apollo Aplications, to include some of the more ambitious proposals like the multi-launch Lunar missions and manned flybys of venus and mars.

I never got around to watching that program but I did download the shadow ship and used it in animations in 3DSMAX many years ago.

I need to see if theres some kind of free move camera because the angle of that shot wasnt what i wanted.

Satellite Retrieval

The crew of DGF-055 grapples the MTKSSAT that has been on orbit since 2010. Marking 5 years of service.

From Dennis Tito's 501 Mars flyby proposal.

I wonder what that is extending past the Dragon SM in the artists rendition. Falcon heavy stage?

Cant say I was ever hugely into the extended lunar missions, but the manned venus flyby using a empty SIVB as living space would be amazing. Good luck!

That's not the Dragon SM, that's the old Orion SM.
