A beauty!

Hey, I just had a weird idea, on clearing the "Zefram Cochrane of Alpha Centauri" line. What if "Alpha Centauri" was not the planet, but the name of Cochrane's experimental ship which was lost. It would be like "Zefram Cochrane of Alpha Centauri" like "Jonathan Archer of Enterprise". In that era, people didn't put the "the" in front of the ship names, so...

Could be that...Or it could me the name of a post war shanty type settlement, on Earth. Like the one from "Star Trek: First Contact"

Inside the ship, most likely.

Again, nice job, I like that you are going back to these designs, I always thought they deserved attention, if for no other reason than that they portrated a fairly plausible development of warp drive from essentially anti-matter spiked fusion drives, with differing ratios of matter and antimatter.

Thanks. Refs for this one are scarce.

Still, nice work, hope you have a chance to take on the Horizon, Amity and Marshal classes from the Spaceflight Chronology as well.
