Are those dudes models or is that what aero space engineers look like these days?

That's awesome. A 2.9m inner diameter is really significant.
It's funny picturing a giant crew or cargo Starship with a tiny IDA. Something of this scale makes a lot more sense, even if it's only to service a Vast station initially. Hopefully NASA and SpaceX are bought in.
