elle @ElleGray I don't mind that rockets are so obviously phallic but I do think the astronauts should have to come out of a tiny hole in the tip

Not an aerospace engineer but just a big fan of space/spaceflight. They do do this. Just about every manned spacecraft with a docking port has the part where astronauts come out at the tippy top (look at apollo, soyuz, shenzou, gaganyaan, dreamliner, dragon). They just wrap it up for launch with something that can protect them on the way up.
