The space shuttle was so ridiculously expensive, that it nearly blew the space program completely... a classic von Braun style rocket ship is still far more efficient. Foxter, the wing parts could still use some care, but it looks great already.

Thanks. Its actually just luck that it looks OKish. It just makes sense to me to have a tall and tapered shape with engines away from the fuselage. So I wasn't really aiming for a 'style' it just came out that way - but very likely its influenced by my preconceptions of how a rocket looks.

Everyone of a certain age knows what a proper rocket ship looks like...

That's why, even when its not the 100% most efficient design, my ships tend to end up looking like this...

Oh, I have a rocket which was made in a such style too! :)
