Thank you! It's been interesting to try to think of a design that also makes some amount of sense for the shape.

This is part of a project to create crewed spaceships for each of the planets based on their astrology glyphs.

To save weight, the inhabited portions of the ship are attached to a tether that would extend after spin-up to increase the radius. That way the rest of the structure could be built as minimalist as possible. The white cylinders are the engines.

The Virgo, my concept for a crewed mission to Venus sometime in the next century. The design is based on the astrology glyph for the planet. It uses rotational artificial gravity.
A ship in front of Venus. The ship is shaped like the symbol for Venus, with a big ring and then inhabited portions on a tether.
