The beluga made me laugh. The cover…meh. I’ve seen far worse here.

“Porpoise (or manatee) swimming into aquarium glass (no lasting harm)” videos appear to be common internet postings for the comic effect.
If your cover has other problems (cut’n’paste look, pixelation effects) AND reminds one of comic internet videos, you’re definitely gonna be on LBC.
I think this cover would look better with title large at top of cover, author smaller at bottom and ship at an angle on star field.
Head-on views have been used for dramatic effect (sci-fi Firefly chased by a Reaver ship; real life USS Pennsylvania leading four other ships into Lingayen Gulf Jan 1945) but those were dynamic. Most views of Enterprise (Star Trek) and Serenity (Firefly) were side or angle shots (similar to most real life photos of US Navy vessels). For a static book cover, I just feel an angled view of a ship would work better.
(The ship cut’n’paste looks transparent — I see stars visible through the engine nacelles.)

Cute spaceship. All the girls will want to fly one of these. VW spacebug.
That’s hilarious! Even before scrolling down, I wanted to squeeze its nose and go, “HONK!”
The spaceship does look like it has eyes, nose and buck teeth.
Shouldn’t that be DERP Crossing?
Kinda reminds me of pigs in space
