It looks like a penis. I'm not trolling. I have no judgement about that either way. But it is strikingly phallic.

They tried basing it on other body parts, but none of them flew very well. The lung rocket in particular was a complete disaster.

Pretty much the entire field of rocketry is unbelievably phallic. I think you're supposed to just keep quiet about it.

  Rockets are phallic, but this one is exceptionally so. The proportions are very similar to a human penis. The payload on top flares out like the glans of the penis. I saw a video of it being lifted from a horizontal to a vertical position and it looked like a penis getting erect [1]. I think if a sex toy was made out of this design, it would be more agreeable to its users than one modeled after the Saturn V or a Falcon.

A lot of things look like penises. Get over it. Grow up.

  Grow up? I have no issue with its penile nature. I'm just commenting on it. It's so much more penis like than other things it's worth noting. Maybe you have issues with penises. By telling others to grow up, perhaps it is you who are uncomfortable with penises, since you'd prefer this be ignored?

    You are totally right, I apologize for calling you out. Please continue your valuable discussion on the subject. I'm excited to see what insights will bubble up from the roiling cauldron of ideas sure to spring from your observation.

It does. Actually the video reminded me of Austin Powers. http://i.imgur.com/h8eEHID.png http://i.imgur.com/h8eEHID.png
