I have been tinkering with a new idea for getting payloads off the surface
of a planet and decided to try modeling and rendering it so I could better
convey the idea to others.  Here is a first shot at some of the components of
the render, but it will be more complex in the end.
    Thanks to various people in the group for ideas and code snippets over the
past year or so.  Any comments?

Cheers!
