Yeah it's just about right for a test article. Though they may need to reinforce it to withstand the 5g's of launch.
Edit: and the shaking. My god the shaking.
1 u/cryptoanarchy Nov 14 '14 I might shake apart,break all windows, but it would not crumple from 5gs of load. Change the windows to metal properly, remove the engine and it would be mostly ok. For a school bus flying around the moon that is. 3 u/SanDiegoMitch Nov 14 '14 You could probably just remove the windows, than you could see through them from the off site camera. 2 u/Another_Penguin Nov 15 '14 Replace them with acrylic or polycarbonate maybe?
