Ignore my comment: artwork that requires the viewer to be incompetent at the technologies depicted, has rights too.
You do not put jet-engine-intakes on spacecraft, let-alone facing the wrong way.
You do not have that many HUGE rocket-nozzles, without having the fuel-storage to back them up.
You do not create suspension-of-disbelief when you violate basic competency in the technology depicted.
This is why stories, visual-art, etc, NEED to get things like cultural-logic, emotional-logic, engineering-logic, etc, right.
Grumble.
You’re making a lot of assumptions about their intent. For all we know it could just be openings for smaller ships to reach the landing decks. Or they could be openings to capture asteroids. Who knows what the artist intended. Ultimately it’s all fantasy. If artists constrained themselves to known technology we wouldn’t have so many instances of unexpected life imitating art.
