can accept wild looking futuristic vehicles if they are from
science-FICTION, but Space Port is supposed to be based on real space
exploration.  The wing is too small for shuttle-style re-entry, there
are no boosters or fuel tanks, and it's got several corners and parts
sticking out, which is _not_ aerodynamic.  I just have problems
suspending my disbelief.

Well, NASA does have some concept space planes which are more or less wingless,
"SRB-less", and with no external fuel tank.  The major one looks like a flying
triangular wing.

But you're right, the aerodyanmic corners thing really screws things up.
