My second degree was going to be in astrophyics, with an eye towards
Mars (manned missions, astrophysics complimenting my main one in robotics)

Let me think on it a bit.

The main thing that will drive the design will be the flight profile.
How high, and how long.  do you want a weather-baloon style uncontrolled
climb, or something more like an airship, or an ultra-high altitude
glider? Or, most ambitiously, do you want something to LEO? Then, do you
want minutes, hours, days? Recovery+relaunch? Geostationary, or not?

make a big difference to the sorts of designs needed.
