elle @ElleGray I don't mind that rockets are so obviously phallic but I do think the astronauts should have to come out of a tiny hole in the tip

I'm probably in the minority but besides the Blue Origin one I honestly never even think about penis when I look at a rocket. Like it's just a pointed tube?

Because everything, literally EVERYTHING, long and thin MUST be made that shape for Freudian phallic reasons by penis obsessed men.

There is simply no chance at all that a long thin shape is just the best engineering answer to the requirement to stand tall and erect and/or smoothly penetrate a fluid medium with minimal resistance.

Physics likes dicks. The universe is telling something there for sure!
