When you had to design and build a spaceship, what shape or form would you chose? Saucer? Rod? Plane-like? Bowl? Typical rocket shape? Clam shell?

I wouldn't bother to design one unless it could do something others couldn't, like go really fast, and rod is probably the most efficient shape for going really fast since there's less surface for space particles to hit.

I would make it shaped like a coffin and build it out of three separate pieces of kiddie pool plastic (with the fish on it) that are held together with packing tape. I will be the sole passenger, launch me into space

Depends on my purpose - if I'm a supervillain then it's gotta be a giant skull, that should be a nice balance of menacing and extra...as a hero, I'd make it hawk-themed, it will strike fear into evil-doers and also be extra...if I am just hauling spice from planet Gluhrex, I still need to be extra, so it's a giant chile pepper
