If you could build and live in (like, as a HOME) a real sized mock up of either of these ships, which would it be? Chrisisall

As a home, Serenity. That said, if I was getting an actual ship, I'd want the Falcon, just 'cause it's more compact, has weapons, and has a more stable thrust-footprint (and, based on comparing RotJ and "The Message," just might manage a higher linear velocity too). Also, the Falcon is FTL-capable, while Serenity isn't. I tend to be a pretty. . . aggressive space-pilot. ----- We applied the cortical electrodes but were unable to get a neural reaction from either patient.

TARDIS bitch. More insane ramblings by the people who brought you beeeer milkshakes! No one can see their reflection in running water. It is only in still water that we can see.

The Jupiter 2. It would look great in Glendale next to the Arizona Cardinals' football stadium. "Whatever is wrong with you is so right for me." -- Marillion.

It would totally have to be Serenity. Much roomier, and it has a lot more comforts than the Millennium Falcon. Besides, it's prettier. :-) "It’s frickin’ great." - Nathan Fillion

Moya, from Farscape. Or Discovery, from 2001: A Space Odyssey. Might have to get the life-support systems checked, though, lest it kills me in my sleep. Mike This world is a comedy for those who think, and a tragedy for those who feel.

Didn't Joss Whedon in the extra credits of disk four say he wanted the Millenium Falcon when he designed Serenity but he wanted it to be capable of supporting a real life. You know I would really want to live in an Eagle which was I believe the inspiration for the Falcon. http://swyzzlestyx.com/index.html

No brainer, Serenity. It's home and comes complete with the best sleeping accomodations, galley and table in the 'verse (not to mention Mal, Wash, Jayne and Simon and then there's Zoe, Inara and Keylee to have some very interesting girl talk with). http://fireflyfaninnc.livejournal.com/

The Eagle from Space 1999 has shown up in two series. One being Space 1999 and the other being Red Dwarf, but with that said I would like to throw Star Bug into the ring. It every feature anyone has mentioned about any of the other ships discussed here and can time travel to boot. Or how about Red Dwarf? Is that too big for this discussion? http://swyzzlestyx.com/index.html

Serenity has one distinct advantage: Toilets. I dun recall seein' a single head on any of the other ships mentioned. Ever. Could make those long trips a mite uncomfortable, especially with a Wookiee aboard. -Raycheetah =^[.]~= The enjoyment of any good thing is only enhanced by sharing it with others. http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=2&t=30176

I don't actually remembering ever seeing a bathroom on Space Bug, but I do remember a discussion between Kristy and either Kryten or Dave about having to take showers and not being able to take a bath. I also remember seeing washing machines on Star Bug so I think it would be reasonable to believe there were bathrooms on Space Bug. http://swyzzlestyx.com/index.html

I'll take the Valley Forge from "Silent Running". Sorry, but I gots to have my trees and animals. And it's proven to be capable of being run by one person and some 'droids. E If the prefix "pro-" means "for" or "in favor of", and "con" is its opposite, and if "progress" means "pushing forward" or "improving"... then what the hell does "Congress" mean?

Isn't that "Eagle" awfully close to the "Moon Bus" from 2001? I'm not sure, but I remember my brother having a model of the Moon Bus, and it sure looks pretty familiar.

Saturday, September 20, 2008 10:32 AM

RALLEM

I don't think the eagle and moon bus look anything alike except maybe that they were both designed in the 1970s so they may follow a similar motif. As far as the Valley Forge is concerned it was great but I think the goal of this thread was to compare smaller space craft as far as living in them and traveling. http://swyzzlestyx.com/index.html

I think there was a running joke in the 1980s when the blue prints to the Enterprise NCC1701 were released and there was only one bathroom on the entire ship. I may be remembering things wrongly though because that was a long time ago. http://swyzzlestyx.com/index.html
