The Worst Looking Rockets Ever Designed!

I've seen a lot of rockets over the years, and some stick out because they look awful, and that's not an easy thing to do when the laws of physics demands clean aerodynamic lines and and constrains your aesthetics.

    You say “Failed after 45 seconds”. I say “Succeeded Gloriously for 44 seconds”.

  • "Assemble a team of aesthetically challenged engineers and have them fight against the natural tendency of a rocket to look cool" Best Scott Manley quote going so far

    That Jupiter III reminds me of the classic "Untitled Space Craft" monstrosity.

    The triple solid rocket booster design looks like the kind of thing you get when you are spacing your boosters in KSP to ensure they have snapped to the separators rather than the core tank.

    "If you want to churn out an ugly launch vehicle you have to actually assemble an entire team of aesthetically challenged engineers and have them fight against the natural tendency for rockets to look cool." There is definitely some Lord Pratchett in this man.

    To give a perspective on how many aerospace students actually watch scott manley. I (an aerospace student) recently used a scott manley video as a reference in an assignment. When my group member saw that I used him as a reference, not only did they not object but everyone agreed that it was probably the best reference in the entire assignment.

    "This is flight control, we are unable to terminate the launch vehicle" -"For what reason?" "The angry rocket designer physically restrained me"

    "Lets flame rocket designs for 12 minutes" Scott Manyley truly is the Technology Connections of Space

    The Arriane 44LP honestly looks like every rocket you make in KSP during early mid career
  • 2:29 - I don't know; the Ariane 4 looks pretty cute to me in an endearingly Kerbal sort of way.

    To accentuate: The last V2 rocket fired at another nation and cause damage was one fired by the USA at Mexico. :)

    Hey the Proton is a damn good looking rocket, it has great proportions between the false side boosters and the core.

    “Have them fight against the natural tendency for rockets to look cool” lmfao that’s hilarious
