That funny shaped rocket sure does look impressive and amazing! It may be worth mentioning that it might not necessarily guarantee better performance or functionality— though, they may serve to provide specialized purposes such as launching very heavy payloads into orbit. But anyway, rockets are just so cool! The incredible precision involved in creating the payloads and figuring out their delivery techniques demonstrates a working synergy between science, engineering and technological innovation at both the government-funded institutional level along through venture capitalists space-based industry as well.Additional benefits abound when we realize that this research has spurred numerous innovations in other industries down on earth particularly materials science computing biological analysis really an interesting side-effect too...("%0AImagine Mars powered by eco-friendly geothermal power produced back on Earth - who knows!)
