Nexus Crew

The version of Nexus optimised to hold crew. Instead of a traditional capsule, we use a space-station module-esque habitat, which provides more comfort and is easily reusable. The crew compartment dowsn’t use a service module, instead relying on the second stage to contain battery, life support systems and propulsion. In the case of an abort, powerful solid motors propel the crew compartment away from the second stage and rest of the rocket, before it comes down on chutes. It also has landing gear, in case it happens to come down above land. The second stage is now equipped with solar panels to sustain crew. Also, i’m not ill anymore! I said on my realistic rocket engine post that once i was better, i’d make a Nexus Crew variant :)
