Description
My attempt at a modern Lunar rocket like the Saturn V was. It is 119.2 meters tall, compared to Saturn V (110.6 m), the N1 (105 m), and SLS (107m). Detailed statistics will be coming quite soon in the future, as soon as I can do all the necessary calculations.Credit to Atomic Rockets for the information on open-cycle gas-core nuclear thermal rockets as well as in general.
The 'fins' on the nuclear stage are aerodynamic heat radiators, because the nominal operating temperature of that engine is 20,700°C.
Made in Paint.NET.

I saw you on the NationStates forums (I'm Hatsunia)! Nice work!

It can replace the chemically-fueled second stage.
I'm also considering changing that engine for a liquid-core one since its operating temperature is a lot lower.

I believe that. It's always great to do something creative. As soon as i get my motovation for Blender back,i might even be able to make a 3D model of your rocket
