Lockheed Martin to Build Next-Generation Spacecraft

[Leto Atrides]

actually they do, since during lift off they ahve to fly through our atmosphere and during landing as well. The majority of the shuttle is stoarage of gasoline and most of the gas is used during lift off. If it wasn't aerodynamic they wouldn't be able to lift off.

Note I said "in the same way". They need to be aerodynamic, however, wings and such aren't necessary for launches. It's not like they're flying a plane out of the atmosphere.

He's not saying they're not aerodynamic. He's saying that they don't have to be as aerodynamic as a vehicle that flies on Earth like a jet, a plane, or a helicopter.

Like Leto said, it doesn't have to be extremely aerodynamic because the Orion spacecraft isn't going to fly down like the space shuttle did. It's going to simply fall from the atmosphere and land some place deserted and vacant like the Soyuz and Shenzhou do.
