yeah, I'm pretty sure you're correct. I'm pretty sure this was posted and ridiculed as being beyond absurdly sensationalist 2 years ago.

I think the point of the original post was to discuss the quality of the render and spacecraft from an Art standpoint.

There is a parts mod for KSP that adds this ship as well.

Dug up the original thread (lots of discussion on the drive concept there, but no video AFAIK):

EDIT: No one noticed the model then, either.  :sigh:

It sure is pretty, though. We had a nice KSP mod, sadly outdated since a few versions.
