Pathetic Earthlings. Hurling your bodies out into the void - without the slightest inkling of who or what is out here. If you had known anything about the true nature of the universe - anything at all - you would have hidden from it in terror. | |

| | I had just head about this a few days ago, but never saw it. I'm surprised at a couple of the size comparissons, especially those things in same universe that I thought was the same size. Good catch and post. | |

| If only I were more interested in some of those, I'd know what they were. I know all the Star Wars ships, and a good number of Star Trek ships. Geez, someone's going to have to revoke my geek badge.

Well, they couldn't get everything. Funny that I never made the connection between your screen name and that ship, as many times as I've seen the movie. Anyway, Sulaco - Conestoga class starship, 385 meters. Closest thing on the chart appears to be the Borg probe.
They also don't have the new Cylon base star, the Serenity, the Eagle (maybe too small), Mega Maid, the Jupiter 2, the ships from Independence Day, and a whole host of ships from polular video games. It's still a very cool chart. | |

They have the length right, like 8000+ meters is about 5 miles. It's pretty big, but wow, I never realized how big the Star wars ship was. WOW!

Yeah, that's pretty much what I meant, that Star Destroyer is huge! | |

| | I dunno about that. IIRC Serentiy is 198 feet long or so, which is about 60 meters. The Smallest thing on that chart is the Saturn V Booster Rocket at almost twice that length. The Rebel Alliance Transport is four times as large as Mal's old boat. | |

| | It'd probably be futile, but I would love to see the same kind of chart only resizing the ships by population density to see which ones are packed like sardines and which are essentially empty skeletons. | |
