Check this out! Looks entriging, but in the pictures, the Mother ship and the space craft to me appear to have some very weak designs. The Mother ship looks like any problems, that twin body could not survive a lot of movement without failing, like a spin. The space craft itself to me looks very weak where the twin tails extend back. Again can they withstand the pressures and forces, turbulance, etc. without failing or resinating from the thinest portion to the rear? I'm not aeronautical engineer, but they both look like very questionable weak points to me.
