Daedalus Mars Lander 1/288 Scale Model Kit:

Produced for National Geographic TV for Netflix, "Mars" was a "hard science" look at the rigors and challenges of colonizing the Red Planet. Shifting from the present day to the 2030s, the show intercut interviews with real aerospace scientists and entrepreneurs with a long-form fictionalize narrative that followed Earth's first crewed foray to Mars and ultimate colonization.

In the series, the first crewed Mars landing was achieved by the spaceship Daedalus, a single-stage Ascent/Descent vehicle "as tall as a 14-story building." Although the Daedalus was designed to serve as the crew's main habitat for the first year (while a suitable subterranean colony site could be scouted), problems upon landing forced the astronauts to abandon their vehicle soon after touchdown.
