Inspirational and Meta Sites Threedux
RE: Inspirational and Meta Sites Threedux
The ground clearance looks a little low, though perhaps that's shown with the (presumably actively controlled) suspension "crouching" at maximum compression. Needs a ladder or boarding stairs from the airlock too, and winches on the ends and sides to (help) haul itself out if it gets stuck in a gully or sinkhole, or tipped over. Being so tall, tipping would be a significant hazard, especially if the airlock isn't mirrored on the other side to keep it from rolling right onto its back with that circular longitudinal shape.

ETA: I don't know what that trim item from the front of the cabin back to over the airlock is supposed to be, but it's a pretty good spot for a crane/manipulator arm if it's hinged at the front. Operator console inside the side window maybe? You'd want to have cameras and probably a fisheye mirror or two to see what it was doing better than just peering out through that of course. Not super-high-capacity obviously, but enough to help the astronauts move heavier stuff than they could manage by hand. Also, if the blue is supposed to be solar panels that's approximately the least efficient configuration possible...
