Description Another art with Knowledge Horizon, this time more real life rendering.

This rocket shows some of design patterns used in space rockets in my universe:
  • As a method of generating artifical gravity my rockets use centrifuges. KH has two of them, spinning in opposite directions to compensate each other torque,
  • Rockets with R-layer drive use much energy. This requires big radiators to remove excess heat from generators,
  • Two-way classic engines: Rockets big enough would have problem with rotating whole rocket just to accelerate/deaccelerate so their engine section has nozzles facing both front and rear end of the rocket
  • And last but not least: R-layer drive. Rockets with them are simply a big long engine "surrounded" from each side with stuffs: generators, habbitats, weapons etc.
PS: The rocket is 1406m long. That makes it the longest thing I have ever drawn .
PS2: It has its own insignia too!

This thing is 1406m long. Don't you think it is too much for a satellite?
