Yeah, same here. I love the new man-rated Dargon a lot. It looks it's tough enough to do the job. But the trunk... No. It's very odd and fifties-like. I could see those waffle shaped air brakes like the Soyuz has but this indeed looks more like some like out of some Flash Gordon style film without any real useful feature. I mean, they are not necessary for steering and up above they don't need the fins for steering either. So what is their function?
