Description
Here's my recreation of the Frank Tinsley picture which inspired the Cosmic Butterfly work in the first place!
I had to make changes to the lighting - in the original the sun appeared to be shining down on the north pole, so I rotated Earth and moon 90 degrees.
It's a serious design for a 1950's ion engine spacecraft. Very low power, but very high efficiency. Ernst Stuhlinger, the designer, was part of Wernher von Braun's V2 team who moved to the USA after WWII
