Space Ships… Side-by-Side

It’s hard to beat this website for pure geeky joy:

Jeff Russell’s Starship Dimensions.

Starships from all your favorite sci-fi series (yes, Serenity is here) displayed side-by-side. You can even drag-and-drop the ships around the page. For comparison, real-life buildings and vehicles are present. You can even drag Jeff Russell himself around the page to see how a human would look next to these ships.

Lots of fun!

    But nothing from the worlds of text. I’d love to see the Honorverse included, and drawings and dimensional data for some of those craft are available.

    It’s unfortunate. I’d like to see how Pittsburg and New York from “A Life for the Stars” (one of the “Cities in FIight” books by James Blish) would have looked. And we appear to be missing the planet killer from the Star Trek vehicles.

    A sad though not surprising irony is the few actual space ships compared to the swarm of fantasy space ships.
