Such wingless, ballistic shapes had the advantage of simplicity, but serious disadvantages if anything other than basic bioastronautics was the goal.
(49) This idea recurred when bioastronautics requirements firmed up in 1960.
NASA is aware of such challenges, as indicated by Recommendation 4.2 in the Executive Summary of The National Aeronautics and Space Administration's
