Murph's Models' IXS Enterprise

**Dyna-Soar** · #1 02-21-2016, 03:48 PM

Beta test of Aaron Murphy's IXS Enterprise, an Alcubierre-drive Warp spacecraft as envisioned by NASA and CG artist Mark Rademaker. (Be advised, the aft warp ring is on backwards, I plan to fix that once I get back to my apartment.)

It's available for a $10 donation on Aaron's website.

The base is a modified Bluebird feeder from Lowes painted to resemble a notional extra-solar planet.

Where is the model to be found? I don't know where Aaron Murphy's site is.

Give it about fifty years or so. Eagleworks already has a working model, they just need to actually test it in a spacecraft. But they're facing the problem of being in line behind a bunch of other less "out there" payloads, like communications satellites, so their chance to test it out won't come up for a while yet.

But it's only a matter of time.

What are the dimensions of this model (completed)?
Someone told me it almost 3 feet long, but i don't see that in your photo.
Or are my eyes fooling me?

I think it's closer to 2 feet.
