Explorer from Gravity

[vehicle]

After seeing the movie I decided to build this fictional orbiter.

This was a guide showing the concept design of the vehicle. http://payload205.cargocollective.com/1/2/79464/6404772/explorer-wire_905.jpg http://payload205.cargocollective.com/1/2/79464/6404772/01_1.jpg http://userdisk.webry.biglobe.ne.jp/006/961/17/N000/000/004/138754399586760081225.jpg http://userdisk.webry.biglobe.ne.jp/006/961/17/N000/000/004/138754394574508170225.jpg

The only thing I didn't add is the hole in the cabin. I also need to open the aft fuselage as much of the right side is torn off. Any advice for this? My only problem is making the engine pipes and plumbing for the interior.

Here's my model as of this morning. I'm holding off adding the tail as I need to open the aft end to add the damage to that first. The movie also shows the payload still inside and I'm adding that as well. The SLIC is ripped open, as is barely visible in the film. The lid for that is ripped off and the gold foil is peeled out and fluttering over the left sill. http://i.imgur.com/460VigZ.jpg

I'm more focused on the orbiter from the movie, not the actors. As many space buffs said, the film was too dumbed down for the average simpleton to get or not get. I prefer the real deal, technical stuff. I can nitpick the movie apart very easily on what is real and is Hollywood BS. I kind of liked the movie, but felt like the others that it was too dumbed down. I'm more with the real NASA guys and Dr. Neil DeGrasse Tyson on making it scientifically accurate instead of for "Joe Average". If they don't get the more accurate stuff well too bad.

Besides this model will end up being part of an LON-400 diorama with Atlantis as the rescue vehicle.
