An easy way to test the general airworthiness of a rocket design is to tie a string around the middle of the rocket so it hangs "balanced". Then swing the rocket around your head in a big circle (kinda like twirling a lasso). If it's aerodynamically stable, the "nose" should always remain pointed "forward" as it goes around in a big circle.

Are rockets streamlined?

Rockets are designed with their shapes due to aerodynamics. In plain terms, it is because of the force of the air on the rocket as they travel through it. For a simple experiment, stick your hand out of the window of a moving car and see how the force of the 'wind' on your hand changes as you make different shapes with your hand.
