Be still my heart.
I had a friend in high school who had a '57 Bel Air. Where you put the gas in was cool. And, of course, his wasn't this nice, but at the time, it was only about 10 years old. And it was champagne color or something. It almost looked kind of pink.Or, even closer to earth:

Yup. That's how planes are made...What is this? Sex at mach 1?

An Ariel Atom for the Keroin?

Did that thing blow the exhaust pipes off? There they are, on the ground, right?
Have you seen the Top Gear test of it?
Seriously. This is one of the few cars in the world that I lust after.
To the Moon
And to Mars
This time no robots
You know I actually like the return to the capsule, it makes sense. The shuttle program was just a dick measuring contest.
When the most constantly and difficult part is getting shit up their. Pack it up neat and assemble in space, don't bring the whole prebuilt house up. From an engineering perspective, theirs something really sexy about that capsule, it's just so simple it's elegant.
Generally I'm not that much into cars, but the Bugatti Veyron is an amazing car

Lotus tuned Caterham 7? DAMN!
The Russians with their Energia were trying to measure dicks with the US...
Dude, the stuff is gonna weigh the same regardless of how many payloads you choose to ship it in. And, since you're talking about simplicity and engineering, engineering doesn't end once you leave the stratosphere. You've obviously not considered that assembling stuff in outer space is a difficult endeavor, requiring many man hours and a ton of risk (to crew and machines). That is also a part of engineers' challenge, and it is subject to costs, ultimately.
