Based on the actual rocket being developed by Elon Musk's SpaceX company, this particular rocket is in scale with the Ares I and V etc that I've built, and is quite small in comparison. It's scratch built from the ground up from cardstock. It will fly on Estes mini engines and recover via a streamer. It's about 65% complete as of tonight.

Very Cool....
But I have to ask, what is that neato' silver rocket in the background?

Yes, I'd like to know as well... I've seen it in the background on both this and the Ares V thread and INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW!!!
It look really cool... sorta like the "Messiah" spacecraft from "Deep Impact"... (course that has to be the STUPIDEST name for a spacecraft in movie history, AFAIC)
So what's the story??
Great build on the Ares V and F-9, BTW...

The "silver" rocket in the background is the USS Carl Sagan, an original design of mine (static though). It's from a short story I wrote a few years ago (it gets blown up the in the end, sadly);if any wants to read it I'll post it in the Watering hole section.

Finished:
Falcon Launch! (as opposed to punch)
I'll finish the flight equipment on this rocket and the Ares V sometime this week.
