drag in space
Well, vacuum is not exactly an emty space. If we have a spacecraft moving at sublight velocity, it can encounter some resistance even at very low concentration of particles in space. Does anybody know the website that can provide an estimate ? I'm just thinking that though most SE shipsets are sleek and aerodynamic for purely aesthetics reasons, there might be some sense in such design ?
