Why do SpaceX rockets look so bad? They're not cool! The Saturn V looked cool. The Space Shuttle looked cool. The Russian Soyuz and the Chinese Long March rockets look cool, as do their respective Soyuz and Taingong capsules. The SpaceX Starship looks like a little kid drew it after watching old cartoons. It looks a 4th grade science diorama made out of paper towel rolls and tin foil. It looks like a bottle rocket you'd fill with a garden hose and a bike pump. Did any actual engineers design it, or did the muskrat copy some concept art from the studio that owns Flash Gordon?
