Perhaps...An entire half of the spacecraft opens for EVAs. Is that a bit much?
Anyhow, the capsule itself is nearly too small for a crew transfer tunnel. It's only 0.95 meters wide. To EVA the entire ship could be depressurized, its not a very large loss. The pilot himself is somewhere around, say, 50-60 percent of the volume in the craft already! But an inflatable airlock/docking port is interesting.
I thought about the inflatable dock, but it raised too many questions, at least to me. It seems a logistical nightmare.
Anyway, a quick update, I've remade the first stage, insofar as it's a stick and an engine. I'll do the fins soon enough.
Question, related to the docking situation. What's the size of a docking port on the ISS? Depending on the reply here, I'll make a final decision on scrapping or looking into an idea.

Allright, fins added, they're not the best, but, this was never going to be in the first place. Though, as bad as the fins are, the engine is worse. I'm going to try to make a new one before too long.

Just to prove I'm not yanking everyone's chain, here's the engine redone and the fins cleaned up from the first attempt.
I can scale it all as necessary if/when I need to.
Ugly, huh? The engine is going to be redone even further. I still don't like it.
