It might be kind of hokey, but I like the circular engine design from NSEA Protector in Galaxy Quest



Just hope you don't need to get from one engine to the other quickly.

This isn't so much about the outside as it is the inside but I've always liked the Nostalgia for Infinity from the Revelation Space series. I like the idea of a really old spaceship that's just gotten weird over the ages.

That's going back too far.

Halo's backstory for humanity in between now and the war with the covenant has some really extreme post-9/11 energy. As I recall, it went that the colony worlds were trying to break from Earth's control, and initially had a lot of public support, but then in their war for independence they did a Terrorism, and thus lost the support of most of humanity and justified the creation of the Spartan program, which made superhumans out of children that were kidnapped by hospitals that faked their deaths to the parents.


It was actually worse than that. They kidnapped children and replaced them with fast grown clone copies but a side effect of the rapid growth was an extremely reduced lifespan. So the parents got the joy of watching their children die from mega-cancer.

It has Jared Harris in it but for some reason they redubbed his voice.

Here's a goofy ship from the short-lived 70s sitcom Quark.



The lower section opened up to collect "space baggies" of garbage.





Similarly here is the DS-12 "Toy Box" from the manga/anime series Planetes.

The series takes place in the 2070s and follows the crew of the Toy Box who are a space garbage clean up crew. They fly around between the Earth and the Moon picking up all the junk left over from over a hundred years of space flight. It is mostly hard science fiction dealing with stuff like the dangers of cosmic radiation exposure and the importance of actually exercising in microgravity to avoid muscle loss.
