Now when someone ask what kind of spaceship was it you can answer.

    Why does a Star Destroyer have to be soooooo much bigger than a Galaxy Class starship? :(

    Yeah. If they had left out the video game only stuff, there would have been room for more of the real spaceships :)

    Where is the C-57D from Forbidden Planet?

    Or the Tardis? Hmm...that's so small it would not show up on that chart, but it's much much bigger on the inside:)

    Or the Discovery One?

    Or...

    Kids today wouldn't know a real starship if they saw one.

    And what was the name of that rather rude looking space ship from Flesh Gordon?

    Perhaps better left off such a poster.

    Where's the Enterprise? If that showed up it would blast all the other ships off the chart :).

    Identify starships? I am still trying to not lose my Yamaha 125cc motor scooter when parking in front of Starbucks.

    Is the spaceship from "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy" included? What about Lazarus Long's transportation?

    The Enterprise is a Constitution class starship, which is one of the tiny ships shown about one-fourth of the way down on the right side of the chart.

    There were several ships named Enterprise in various classes (they seemed to keep getting destroyed)...they may have been small in size but they kicked butt as far as making money for a franchise!

    They seemed to have forgotten to include the Starship Pegasus.

    I guess by "star ship" they are being strict with that interstellar requirement?

    No Serenity... not even a representative Firefly class? Shame.

    ...from where are all those ships noted as "EVE"?

    Animae, movie, TV series?

    I couldn't find the Red Dwarf in there? Admittedly I didn't look at every ship, only the big ones.. because Red Dwarf should be.. big!

    Just guessing here, but...

    EVE Online

    Warhammer 40000 is also a game.

    Red Dwarf isn't an interstellar ship, though.
    It's an asteroid mining ship, and doesn't have the need to cross between stars.
    but yeah, it should have been on the chart as it's the longest-serving ship in the fleet...

    Not a single ship from Doctor Who in there, The Last Starfighter is missing, the ship from 'Marco Polo' isn't there, either.
    and what about Space Balls?
    Or The Kite, from Terry Pratchett's book The Last Hero?
    (after all, if a wooden spacecraft shaped like a bird, with a salmon-shaped pod full of small dragons doesn't qualify, then what does?)

    This is what happens when gamers try to be creative...

    I got Season X of Red Dwarf earlier this week so now I have all 9 seasons.

    No Dark Star? or bit's of it, or even a surfboard
    or what about the Silver Surfer's surfboard

    The Dark Star had a bit of an accident before they could draw the poster, and the remains were 'mined' by the Red Dwarf...

    The Silver surfer?
    Take a good look at the Babylon5 'Earth Alliance Explorer Class' and specifically the trusses between the forward and middle section... If you look very close you may see him all tangled up in there...
    He really shouldn't have tried to emulate those surfers he met at a beach on Hawaii...
