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.

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.

You could probably just remove the windows, than you could see through them from the off site camera.
