ABOUT THE DESIGN:

ABOUT THE MODEL:

"Deep Impact" was one of two comet/asteroid collision blockbusters released in 1998. (The other was "Armageddon.") In this scenario, a young amateur astronomer (Elijah Wood) discovers a virgin comet that's on a direct collision course with earth. When the world's governments confirm the young astronomer's findings, they jointly launch a massive, top-secret program to build a massive spaceship to intercept the comet and vaporize it with atomic weapons.

The spacecraft, dubbed "Messiah," is clearly cobbled together using components from both the American and Russian space programs. Its command module is a modified space shuttle nose designed to detach from the main spacecraft and descend to the comet's surface so astronauts can insert the nukes into its icy core.
