I found this while looking for pictures of spaceships at the behest of my two year old. I thought it was pretty cool:

Oh, nice!
No BATTLESTAR!!!! :(
The Constitution (USS Enterprise) from Star Trek was only 289 meters? Kind of hard to believe it held a crew of I believe thousands of people. That's with all the amenities of a large mess hall, holodeck, medical ward, and literally hundreds of randomly placed traps and gauntlet like obstacles.
EDIT: Hmm, it seems there were only a bit under 500 people on the original Enterprise. My mistake. Still seems cramped considering a fraction of its size was actually interior living space.
OMG! :eek: How many people were there on the Star Wars 'Executor Class' ships?? They're bigger than all of those space stations. Babylon 5 had about 250,000 people and it's still tiny compared to Star Wars.
If we include space stations, then there's the Death Star...
According to the Starwars Wikia, it had a crew around 280,000.
Damn thing is beautiful too, isn't it. The empire kicked arse. Rebels were lame.
No BATTLESTAR! :(
I think the Moon wouldn't fit, MK27 :D
The Death Star is missing...that's probably the most glaring station/ship left out.
I wish they had also included ships from the Battletech universe in this size comparison.
It'd also be cool to see some Halo stuff on there too.
I just watched Danny Boyle's "Sunshine" (2007) last night, the ICARUS II was supposedly equivalent to the mass of Manhattan Island, so it would be pretty big.
Except it was a giant nuclear bomb containing all of Earth's fissile material: what's the relative density of granite/steel/concrete (Manhattan Island) to uranium/plutonium?
