BFR Concept - Pre 2016

thingiverse

I'm a bit behind schedule to post this model - it's my take back in 2016 (before Elon's presentation) on what the SpaceX BFR spaceship might have looked like. I envisioned the ship needing a "broadside" heat shield like the shuttle, multiple vacuum engines for redundancy, sturdy legs for robust landings, and landing engines to secure its position. The shape ultimately turned out completely different (more tube-shaped and less delta) but the concept remained largely intact. Check out my other designs for more accurate BFR concepts from 2016 and 2017. This model prints perfectly without any supports needed!
