It appears Matt Jefferies wasn't the only one...

...who proposed storing cargo in exterior modules surrounding a speculative near-future interplanetary transfer vehicles's spine a la the DY-100. Behold Krafft Ehricke's 1966 CTR-Raumschiffs proposal(*). Great minds, huh?

It seems like a logical enough design. That link you gave for the DY-100 was a very interesting read. I had no idea Jeffries was so attached to Douglas.

Those landers look cute too.

Anything else worth the 4 euros in this book?

Good read, thanks for the link. The DY-100 has always been one of my fave 'Trek designs-- Jefferies really had a knack. I can easily see a "fleet" of these ships being the early "colony" ships for Earth and/or touring about the solar-system from planet to planet.

I just had a look, the technical university of my city has it in its library, though it cannot be lent. Maybe you find it via your university?
