"Nuclear Pulse" version of Discovery from 2001

This is a simple spin of one of the unused designs for the deep space ship "Discovery" from 2001. It would use nuclear pulse propulsion, based on the "Orion" concept.

The design of the "Discovery" changed a LOT as the film progressed, more than any other element. Kubrick was apparently concerned that using nukes again in the film after "Doctor Strangelove" would be too much.

The mesh is based on surviving concept art, with details filled in by me in the style of other ships in the film.
