Do looks matter for a lunar lander?
Of course it doesn't look as good as the awesome streamlined rocketship concept art I grew up with in the 1950s, I will grant you that.
- stcredzero 8y agoOf course it doesn't look as good as the awesome streamlined rocketship concept art I grew up with in the 1950s, I will grant you that. While SpaceX's concept for Starship does look that awesome. (In the form of animations and concept art, not in the form of steel water tower construction blown over on its side.)
