I hope that the 2012 movie won't suck but I fear it will.

I was glad to see the SA-43 Hammerhead made the list.

But no ISSCV/ISSAPC?

oh well I guess I should be glad that at least someone besides me remembers that show...

Sorry, never heard of that show. I must have missed it in 95-96. What network was it on?

I was tickled to see the Swine Trek in there. I got about half of them.

Some good looking ships, but not all that aerodynamic...

I guess they're mostly designed for show and no real go...

Aerodynamics are irrelevant in the vacuum of space, so you can get some funky form follows function shapes. The ungainly looking Apollo Lunar Excursion Module is a good example.

I was mostly thinking blastoff and re-entry...

Hard to imagine the amount of thrust you'd need to overcome all that extra drag!

Most real life space craft have a aerodynamic shroud that protects them on launch. After they leave the atmosphere the shroud is jettisoned.

The everlasting Soyuz operates with that design...

The millenium falcon is a good ship something I would own if I was a starman from the future.

Also the Mothership from PC game Homeworld is a good one

See the mothership around 2.52 Though watch the whole Homeworld intro amazing stuff. When I first played Homeworld I had goosebumps during the intro, made you feel like you were part of this lost civilization and was on a journey to save mankind!

But then come mission 5 I could not beat the waves of enemies millions died because of me.
