Sci-Fi Spaceship Sizes
« 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.

Yeah, he's way off on the J2.
Think he may be way off on the ET ship too.
Also IMHO off on Atlantis (SGA)

Trump won in 2016. And again in 2024. Democrats haven't been so offended since Republicans came along and freed their slaves.

When plunder becomes a way of life for a group of men in a society, over the course of time they create for themselves a legal system that authorizes it and a moral code that glorifies it.   - Frédéric Bastiat

Minimal written SF, no credibility.

No Roger Young, or New Frontiers.  No Xeelee nightfighter.  No Michael or Thuktun Flishithy.
