The "Iceland" doesnt need to be solely Fusion powered: they could (and likely) have been using VUlcan or other new alien designs for their short forrays out of the solar system.
I imagine the top item on Earth's list of wanted trading materials would be the tech for better warp drives.
No matter how "greatful" the humans were to the Viulcans, they'd try to get around the Vulcan's holding them back.

"Using Vulcan or other new alien designs"? What show have YOU been watching? In this era, no one's interested in sharing their technology...

Oh, I dont know... didint they mention having a colony out on Alpha Centauri?
Hard to believe they only have commerce with the Vulcans.

Oh, yes, of course, there were two Icelands in "The Expanse." Nice image, BTW.

Can't wait for the episode: "The Helskini Syndrome" a precursor to TOS's "The Immunity Syndrome". [Smile]

Actually those schematics of the Iceland - I didn't realise how close it looked to the "Lunar Orbiter".

Hopefully, Mim will post a size comparison chart of the lineage from X-33 to Babba Yagga.

Could anyone post a size comparison chart if I email it to them? MMoM seems to be unavailable at the moment.

Nice chart -- but looking at the varied shapes, I think that the Iceland might actually have a shape closer to that you've got assigned to the Venture Star 2, with a pointier nose section. Just IMO.
