Arrgh, no. The two stage craft is a picture I saved off the internet about ten years ago, for which I took no notes on the source since I figured Google Image Search would turn it up, and for which now Google Image Search has failed me. I wish I could do artwork that good.

2017-01-21 16:06:29 +0000 UTCThanks for posting the bit on Lightcraft, I was jus thinking of it. Is the two stage craft one of your designs? Is the first stage recoverable? And while the smaller crafts are spun up, I'd wager that larger lightcraft would use fins and reaction wheels to maintain stability. And I like the bit about ZG hygiene. Though on the ISS they use wet naps and damp towels to clean up. Let's face it, a low flow shower uses about 7.6 liters/2 gallons of water per minute. A ten minute shower will use about 76 liters of water. Which will have to be filtered and sanitized through osmosis filters or graphene filters. None of which is will go fast. So if I was the ship's purser I'd buy a big bag of Astronaut Wipes.
