Art Deco Mission to Mars

8,000 pieces later… I don't think my computer is ever going to forgive me for this.

 

Alright, here's what we got. Stage one is 8 booster rockets and fuel tanks that fall away after leaving Earth's atmosphere. Next are 4 boosters that are used to navigate to Mars. Upon reaching Mars, a parachute deploys and the boosters are used to decelerate while the parachute keeps the rocket upright. There are 8 tubes and ladders leading to the permanent research station. On the way to Mars, artificial gravity is provided on the Research Station and Bridge by the strongest force known to mankind - Studs and Anti-Studs. The rest of the rocket doesn't have artificial gravity because what's the point of going to space if you don't get to experince zero-g? Once the mission is complete, Stage 3 takes off from Mars and returns to Earth. Upon entering Earth's orbit Stage 4 detaches and reenters Earth's atmosphere, releasing a parachute to control descent.

 

I hope you like it!
