    Here. Compares spacehips (size, energy output) from science fiction. All except for the Death Star, as it dwarfs the others in size. Surprisingly, V'Ger is one of the biggest (guess they aren't measuring the original build size).

      Great, I just wanted to go to bed. Now that will keep me in front of my computer for at least another hour. "Thank you very much." Got my 5. :)

        That is way too cool, the Millennium Falcon smaller than the shuttle? Never would've thought it. [No Hitchiker's Guide ships though? Heart of Gold? :( ]

          Good to see Kosh represented there, but I had no idea the Drakh ship was bigger.

          Proud to have finally moved to the A-Ark. Which one are you in?

            Shorter, perhaps, but remember it is round, so probably a bigger volume.

                But would you measure the inside or outside of the Tardis?

                  A phone booth does not count as a ship. That, and nobody can agree on the dimensions. :)

                    Apart from the ships from Battlestar Galactica you mean? And also, a Tardis contains an entire set of extra dimensions. Although Dalek Motherships are huge, and the Crucible is Death Star sized.

                      It is a ship, but it is a Time-ship, not a spaceship.

                          http://youtu.be/awRr55oEHPg[^] Yeah, the shuttle was built to carry cargo up there so living space in the Falcon must be greater. I just looked up clips and can see how short it is now. Strange how ones forms an idea of the size of something they've only seen on film, in 2 dimensions.

                            I think it's more like a time-and-space-ship.

                              Ah, but 3D space or space outside of Earth's atmosphere? If 3D space, then my car is also a space ship transport.

                                Both, it is capable of traveling away from Earth (how else would The Doctor have gotten to Earth to begin with?), as well as moving to different locations on Earth's surface. Besides traveling through time from Earth to Earth requires a change in spatial location, as the Earth itself is moving and traveling to the same spot in space through time could leave you above the Earth, inside it, on the opposite side of the Sun, etc.

                                    I'd love to see some other 'classic' sci fi films in there, how about the ship from forbidden planet, dark star, the valley forge etc.
