why are we still designing rockets with the same shape (cylinder/nose cone)? Do we still not have the technology to send up boxier/flatter objects with thrusters on like the 4 corners, making for more stable landing and re take off?
In: Physics
We always could send up boxier rockets. A boxier rocket is less efficient for a bunch of reasons and has no benefits. Why would we do such a thing? How would thrusters on corners be better than thrusters on the cylindrical body of the rocket?
