Spacecraft only have to possess aerodynamic properties if they enter an atmosphere such as the Shuttle did. Science Fiction takes great pains to avoid this. An airplane uses control surfaces such as ailerons for rolling, rudders for yawing and elevators to pitch. A spacecraft uses reaction control thrusters for the same maneuvers. There is no need for it to even remotely look like an aircraft. A classic example is the Apollo Lunar Module. Another thing SciFi always gets wrong is firing thrusters in the direction of orbit to break orbit and enter a planet's atmosphere. All that will do is put you in a higher orbit. To break orbit, you have to retro-fire. Hope that helps.
