Ares I-X it just plain ugly

Ok yes the space shuttle was and still is cool, but even I can see the expence in operating it. Think about it:

2 rocket boosters, 1 huge tank of fuel, the shuttle itself, all have to be lifted off the ground. This explains why you have the huge fuel tank and I am sure NASA pays a bit more per gallen then we regular people do. Now we must also see 3 of the 4 masive heavy parts are falling back to earth and never make it to space.

Are these parts reused? I really dont know.

So there is why no more space shuttle, OK I understand, an era is over and we must move on twards the next step in building the USS Enterprise!

So NASA realizes they dont need all that stuff, just one powerfull engine will do just fine and then just stick the paylode on top and bring the astonoughts home the old fashioned way (parashoot and capsule). Ok I get that to, it took NASA almost 30 years to figure out that the original idea was probably the better idea to begin with but hey they jusy had to try it first.

So why, why , why is this new rocket "Ares I-X" so dam ugly?

It doesnt even have fins(I know it doesn't really need them, but fins are cool). To me it looks like a uncircumsized mmm oh well you know where im going with that. But not just a uncircumsized mmm well you know, but a uncircumsized mmm well you know with a horrible case of gonorrhea or sífilis or maybe a combination of the both. All swollen looking at the top.

Im not angry im just saying, it looks like a deformed penis ok there I said it. What is with this NASA obsession with penis shaped rockets anyway? The first ones must not do it for em anymore they had to spice em up a little, LOL.

But hey if it gets the job done and it brings our people back home safe then in the end that is really what matters.
