SCIENCE FICTION: Spaceship size comparison chart

For the science fiction fans: Here is a fascinating chart (sans Death Star of the “Star Wars” series) that compares the size of various spaceships found in popular science fiction culture. Imagine the amount of resources (and technology that doesn’t yet exist) needed to construct even the smallest of these spacecraft. More discussion about this poster can be found at BuzzFeed. Click the chart for a larger size.

    Agreed. Add the Death Star.

    Also, please add the Andromeda Ascendant, other Commonwealth warships like Wrath of Achilles, a Pyrian Torch ship, The Battlestar Galactica and Cylon Base ships(both old and new series).

    Oh yeah – the alien destructor ships from Independance Day.

    Sizes are all wrong, this is crap example, good idea, but wrong in scales, part of the problem is most likely the references that all like to have their own idea of what things are…

    is this a protected image? i’m planning on using this on a game in game maker. is that legal? if the maker reads this, can i use these ships? they would be perfect!

    and i’m not really that into star wars, so no idea if this is correct or not, just think they look very nice :P nice job.

    kind regards,

    To whom it may concern

    My name is paul. I really liked your abstract images, they look really cool. I would like to get a permission to grab abstract science fiction planes and post them on my website. I am not going to sell them at all, that is not what I am planning to do. What I am planning to do is just post my images on my website and turn then into animation and they will fly back and forth, that’s all. Please send me a response so I don’t get in trouble. My email address is paulczarnecki@sbcglobal.net

    Best Regards

    Paul

    This is great, but the death-star would be nice. Also, could you box them into their specific categories (star trek, star wars, Babylon 5, etc.) and label significant ships (for example: starship ISS enterprise).
