What are some of our inspirations? Do we look to real-world inspirations very often?
John CreweVehicle Pipeline Director
Occasionally, yeah, quite often. There's certainly real-world analogs for a lot of spaceships, particularly on the military side, so everyone's got their sort of favourite World War II dogfighter or fighter or bomber, modern-day things. The Vanguard always gets back to the P-38 Lightning. Everyone knows it. The Eclipse looks like a B-2 stealth bomber. So the military side definitely has a lot more analogues. On the less combat side, they sort of have their: we want a space trucker ship, we have a space tanker ship.
