You've bent the front page recommendation algorithm to your liking?

The big 'n little fins are only the start. There's the You Only Live Twice alligator fairing, and the aft taper that is away more streamlined for the return leg of it's journey.

And those fins negate the need for the chopstick arms that SpaceX utilises. The forward rudders are the only thing not predicted in the 1930s.

I still like the Ariane aerospike engine best.
