Whoa, suh-weet.

Interesting how they dealt with the issue of forward-facing "rendezvous
windows" -- using protruding "cupola"-style enclosures instead of the
"cut-in" windows as on Gemini and Apollo. I wonder what the aerodynamic

It almost looks like something that would dive and explore the

Is it a space ship or deep sea submersible?
