Well no wonder, the rocket is not very Aerodynamic with the flat nose.... 😂

Reminds me of the B36

B-36 was configured to have 10 engines, six radial propeller engines and four jet engines, leading to the B-36 slogan of "six turnin' and four burnin' ".

The starship isn’t mounted. That’s just a booster. The actual spacecraft is that black rocket in the background.

I used to work there

I remember hearing those B-36 flying over my house as a kid. It was a sound like God’s own beehive.

Conceptualized in early 1941 as a US-to-Europe and a Hawaii-to-Japan mission capability. This was when Britain's survival was in doubt (Ambassador Joe Kennedy Sr). The 36 was also referred to as the plane that only landed to reenlist the crew. It was 66% larger than its predecessor, the B-29, and exceeded every other USAF aircraft up to the C-5 and the 747 (AF1).

One has to wonder what would have taken its place in the post-WW2 nuclear bomber position as the 36 was the only bomber that could carry that era's nuclear bombs from US to Soviet Union. The B-47 (1953) needed the next generation, 'down-sized' bombs and it was half the range at 2k miles. The real replacement for the 36 was the B-52 (1955) which had a better range of 8,800 miles.
