Title: Sci-Fi Spaceship Sizes
Post by: Ben on May 05, 2023, 10:29:19 AM: Another sci-fi spaceship size comparison.

I watched it at 2x speed. I'm not sure about this one. Compared to the human they had for scale, the Jupiter 2 sure looked dinky. I know there have been a few Lost in Space iterations, but in the ones I've seen, the ship was pretty big with two levels. Here, a Hammerhead is bigger.

Think he may be way off on the ET ship too.
Also IMHO off on Atlantis (SGA)

Minimal written SF, no credibility.

No Roger Young (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Starship_Troopers), or New Frontiers. No Xeelee nightfighter (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xeelee_Sequence). No Michael (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Footfall) or Thuktun Flishithy.

BTW: No Omega Class Destroyer
