Northern Star was (fictional) lifting body (the body of the airplane produces the lift instead of the normal wings) aircraft developed by NASA. This prototype did not have any real purpose except to waste tax payers money (and to test the lifting body thing). Because of the shape of the fuselage the Northern Star could also float.

This looks the Ranger 1 from Interstellar. :)
Awesome!
I like the new look of the shuttles...
oh
@JMicah4 those nasa logos
how did you fit 688 parts on this?
Well this looks cool
@BogdanX can i get 0.5 points more if i mention water takeoff?
Awesome! Love the great paint job!
@BogdanX I must ask that why background affects the points since background is not made by the creator of the build
Would you be interested in rating one of my creations on a beginner scale? @BogdanX
Unique concept!
