Daedalus by David Hardy
I have always been interested in plans for interstellar travel, and have been a member of the BIS since 1952, so of course followed their Daedalus
design study closely. In a way I suppose this could be compared with their earlier 1939 study for a moonship, using banks of solid fuel in stages.
This is not the way it happened, yet Apollo did have several features foretold by this, and of course the Shuttle uses solid boosters. So perhaps
history will repeat itself one day! The painting itself was done in the 1980s, I think for a Marshall Cavendish book, but at that time I painted
the explosion a reddish colour. Later I was able to change this digitally on a scan in Photoshop, and I also changed the planet, which was originally
Neptune.

Daedalus Nuclear Fusion Starship
Daedalus Stage Separation
The context (of this illustration) is that when I was studying at the Art Center College of Design I wanted to step outside of my major of commercial
illustration to storyboard "Earth's first mission to the stars". I was able to talk one of the transportation design instructors into letting me take
his vehicle design class as an elective and focus on "Project Daedalus". These blueprints were part of that project.

Daedalus Size Comparison
From the book "The Third Millenial", by Langford and Stablefords (1985). (permission pending)
The artist of this image is likely to be unknown, but the image is yet another fascinating illustration of the size of the Daedalus compared.

Daedalus Stage 2 side by Nick Stevens
And a view from lower down. I'm experimenting with violet instead of green for the tank banding. There was quite a bit of work when i found out that
the second stage should only have 4 tanks.
