This is my first theroy.(Here you go Radar)

I believe that aerodinamics have some affect on space travel.

First, because of take-off, aerodinamics play a major role in fuel efficency.

Second, which doesn't play as an important role today, since aerodinamics are the study of how air affects movemant(generally), since air and gas is matter, it studies how matter affects movement. And space i believe is filled with tons of exta matter. So if a craft has bad aerodinamics would perform poorly in space.

It goes along with the fact that matter moving against other matter causes friction.

I believe that areodinamics really is the study of this friction and how it helps and himders movement.

What do you guys think?

So I take it you are saying that even miniscule traces of matter in space such as hydrogen can cause drag on a space ship? And therefore because of this, that spaceships need to be aerodynamic for space travel?

Not bad at all mate. Makes sense. :smile:

i'm impressed. If you were flying through a gaseous region of space, aerodynamics probably would come into play.

nice work mate.

Thanks guys.

A lost of people I know disagree with me on that.
