First, where's the main thruster engine? That line pointing to the "E1 Rocket Engine?" Yeah, that's just an expansion nozzle.

You've got some nice oxidizer tanks, but where are you putting the fuel?<br><br>And finally, the solar panels. Where, exactly, do you intend to stow them so that they're not sheared off during launch?<br><br>Cripes, I could make a model like that in under an hour.
