In space, shape doesn't matter as much as mass center. Here's the spaceship Sidonia from Knights of Sidonia
Cool design ! This sent me for a small research loop, wondering if there is any connection to the song from Muse Knights of Cydonia. The song came out in 2006 and the first manga in 2009. Most likely explanation is they are both named after the Cydonia region of Mars. Probably, the manga got translated back from Japanese phonetically.
Thanks for doing the legwork on that! I'm not familiar with the manga, and I immediately thought of the song.
Unless you go really fast, then an aerodynamic shape becomes super important again
Yeah, can't have that pesky air resistance slow you down. In...space.
Edit: Okay, now I'm actually super curious at what speed this would come into effect. I know space isn't 100% vaccuum, so there is some point where this would become a necessary factor to consider. However, it must be at truly insane speeds, no?
Space is full of particles, and if you want to travel relativistic speeds, they're a problem.
Awesome show
