When it becomes possible what popular scifi space ship should we build first??

The ONLY reason rockets and capsules are designed the way they are is purely because its cost prohibitive to get a whole like of material in space..as it stands it costs a minimum of 10,000 dollars just to get a pound of anything to space.



You may think "what about the ISS" its big and uses alot of material..sure but that took over a decade to built and the designs of the structures are basically interlocking pods, tubes and blocks. Very basic and minimalist design.



But a company in Canada just put in for a patent on a type of space elevator that IF they can get it to work should make launching material much cheaper. To the tune of 100s oo of dollars or less.

that being said..WHICH FICTIONAL SPACE SHIP SHOULD BE BUILT FIRST:


MILLENNIUM FALCON


USS ENTERPRISE


BATTLESTAR GALACTICA


SERENITY - FIREFLY


STAR DESTROYER - STAR WARS


EAGLE ONE - SPACE 1999


USS DEFIANT - STAR TREK


Rodger Young – Starship Troopers


Discovery One - 2001: A Space Odyssey


Prometheus - Prometheus

OR WRITE IN

 

Obviously the Enterprise will be built first, but the NX-01 configuration ;-)

 

Enterprise from the Next Generation.

 

Eagle 1 was the coolest toy ever.:weedman:

 

Yeah, as a toy i'd take the Eagle 1 hands down over any of the fictional spaceships.

It has the most realistic look to it of all the spaceships IMO. Futuristic and retro at the same time (if that makes any sense). While the Enterprise looks like an imaginative design by some good artists, Eagle 1 looks like it was designed by NASA engineers.

 

Meant to vote USS Enterprise did USS Defiant by accident.
