This has me thinking: if ships like this are only ever in the void of space (so never needing to land on a planet or interact with any aspect of it), would there be any point to designing an aerodynamic ship like this vs a huge cube?
Like sure having a more streamlined ship could make navigating asteroid belts or whatever easier vs a huge box, but like, does it matter for the force required to make it accelerate and decelerate?
(I just woke up so this might be an obvious answer)
