The yamato had squads of fighter jets, taking off and landing; while the enterprise only had a couple shuttle crafts.... so how can the tomato be smaller?
So happy to see the Starfury from Babylon 5, the Eagle from Space:1999, The Starfighter from Buck Rogers, the Milano from Guardians of the Galaxy, and the Serenity from Firefly in here!
TBF, it is because most Sci-Fi ships either aren't using solid fuel as their primary propulsion, have extremely efficient and effective solid fuel propulsion if they do OR they're built outside of the atmosphere and aren't intended to go back into atmosphere, so they don't need nearly as much fuel as an IRL ship would.
@@ParagonFury you have that backwards, out of atmosphere ships will tend to be mostly fuel. Atmospheric drag has nothing to do with it. As for being "extremely efficient " I did some math a while ago and found that for the Enterprise D to reach full impulse speed then full stop would require something like 7,000 tons of antimatter and of course 7,000 tons of matter to annihilate with assuming 100% efficient transformation of all that energy into propulsion. Including the bulk of the resulting energy that as far as we know simply can't be used. This ignores both real world efficiency issues AND the fact that canonically the ship uses fusion reactors for impulse power not antimatter. I didn't feel like working out how much fuel they would need at some theoretical 100% efficient fusion reactor. But it would be some orders of magnitude higher than 14,000 tons amd several times the ships 5,000,000 ton mass.
To really give a sense of perspective to how big Star Destroyers are, the USG Ishimura from Dead Space is about the same size. So, for those who’ve played Dead Space and are fans of Star Wars, you know how expansive a ship that size can be.
I've seen many of these size comparison clips, but I really like the way you kept including people and buildings by the side of each for continual perspective. Thanks!
@@Halfscreen I could tell by your choice of name and model for the SDF-1 Macross. Most Macross fans will use the DYRL version. I grew up watching Robotech but as the first generation (the Macross part) was my favorite I got more into Macross as I got older. Macross Plus OVA is my favorite.

THANKS FOR POSTING! My favorite ship here is the Argo aka & called Yamato from Star Blazers of 1979. Something NOBODY ever gets right is the size of a Battlestar. In the original Battlestar Galactica books written by Glen A Larson each single Battlestar represented the collective might of an entire planet. Each Battlestar would be larger than Darth Vader's Super Star Destroyer in The Empire Strikes Back. According to a conversation between Starbuck, Apollo and Adama it would take an experienced hiker years to walk through each room on the Galactica, and the Galactica had hundreds of decks and thousands of Viper Fighters and a crew of hundreds of thousands. The loss of any single Battlestar was a catastrophe. They had to scale it down for TV. The rest is history.
Everyone after the previous vessel is like "we got a bigger ship than you lot" until the Borg shows up with a cube and says "RESISTANCE IS FUTILE", then everyone else is like "yeah, nah, we're outta here".
I'm glad you kept putting relatable real-world objects even next to the big ships as scale gets lost if you're only comparing to the next ship down. With that helicopter for example, it really gives you a better feel of how big even the original enterprise is

Just needs a few more to make it a perfect vid; the Liberator, Moya, Excalibur, Andromeda Ascendant, Enterprise NX-01, Voyager (Intrepid Class), Klingon Bird of Prey, Romulan Warbird, Ferengi Marauder, and the Borg Sphere.

It's so great to see Space Battleship Yamato get some recognition. Just yesterday, I was across town and stopped into an Anime store that I'd been meaning to check out for a while. They didn't have a single piece of Space Battleship Yamato merchandise. When I asked about it, they'd never even heard of the series. Sadly, this is the response I almost always get when I go somewhere that claims to specialize in anime. Ya basic!
I'm still a big fan of Robotech even though getting the merchandise isn't that easy anymore. I haven't watch Space Battleship Yamato but several fan pointed out why I didn't add it in my first video, so the fan has spoken and won.
@@Halfscreen A big part of the problem is that the series hasn't been given much of any promotion by Funimation or Crunchyroll. At one point, there were plans to air the 2012 reboot series on Cartoon Network, but nothing ever came of it. For decades, the distributor responsible for Star Blazers in North America and Europe was Voyager Entertainment, which was nothing more than one guy operating out of a tiny office in New Jersey. The result was the withering of the brand in the West down to only die hard fans. Even though it's now in the hands of people who know how to support the series, they appear to consider the damage to already be done, and aren't doing anything to repair the situation. It's still big in Japan, though.
@@WyldstaarStudios it's one of those "If I ever win the powerball" dreams of mine to do a Star Blazers movie (we do not speak of the trainwreck that is the Japanese live-action version)
@@Grey_Shard My "If I ever win the powerball" dream was to buy the rights to SBY and remake the original series using modern animation. Then in 2012 they went and did it, which shocked me in the extreme. I was even more shocked when it actually turned out to be great, and not a complete disaster.
Great comparison, however you forgot one of the most iconic ships that everyone forgets about the mother ship from Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Keep up the great work.
I tried to add all the ship based on the request and comments made on my previous animation, I may considered doing ver 3 and add Close Encounter, heck I'm a big fan of the classic.
@@k1productions87 Closed Encounter starships movie would be using too much electric generator to power up Soo many LEDS lights of different types of colors of a 6 foot wide models scale version of the movie , and probably be using a semi- trailer truck to pull a big generator and including the just 1 big main Space Ship out of several types of smaller 🚀 Spaceships and including the Electric company guy with his truck who were sunburned by spaceship at NIGHT ‼️ .
3:49 Yamato seen here still uses specifications as it was designed by Leiji Matsumoto and not 2199 remake. Lenghts of 285 meters (Original IJN Yamato + 30 meters of rocket aft (where Tachyon particles leave the ship , pushing it forward and fast)). There's also the other ship with the similiar size also designed by the same person. but with aftcastle of old GAlleon. called Arcadia. 3:58 In Star Trek universe. there's another Federation ship with same class as Enterprise that's also named Yamato.
I notice Farscape is either blatantly ignored or overlooked on these videos. Farscape has amazing ships from Crichton's module to the Peacekeeper command carrier to the Zebanian to the Scarran Decimater. Farscape is awesome and deserves to be included!
Even if some disagree with Moya, there are still plenty of ships from Farscape worth being included. But Moya deserves to be included as she is indeed a spaceship...a biomechonoid. I've seen other videos from this channel comparing flying ships include living creatures such as Falcor from Neverending Story and Drogon from Game of Thrones. Gee, if living creatures can be included on comparisons with nonliving vessels than Moya and Talyn both deserve to be included here. Just seems Farscape gets left out. Unless it's just that Moya is so fantastic that there is no comparison. Maybe Farscape ships just are so much better there is no competition or comparison.
@@kingmasterlord you know on some of the other videos on this channel living beings are compared to other vessels. There's Falcor the dragon from Neverending Story and Drogon from Game of Thrones for example in a comparison of flying vessels. If dragons, which are alive can be compared to planes and aircraft than Moya should and can be included against other ships. Farscape does am also have a few other shops that could be included if not Moya and Talyn. Crichton's module, the Peacekeeper prowler, Marauder, command carrier, Scarran Decimator, Zenetan pirate ships, the Peacekeeper Zelbanian...etc. All worthy to be included.
Am I the only one who’s a little annoyed at Abrams’ whole “everything in my Star Trek is bigger and faster and shinier, and my Enteprise is bigger than a galaxy class lol” thing?
That whole ship has serious scaling issues. For the most part, its features make it look like its the same size as the original design, but JJ got the scaling completely wrong for the shuttlebay which results in the ship apparently being bigger than a Galaxy-class.
@@Helbore actually there’s a video on the JJverse Enterprise’s correct size. It actually details that JJ said the Enterprise was closer to the original’s size. It was Paramount that came up with the 700+ meter scale. Edit: CBS came up with the size and heres the link to the vid th-cam.com/video/yGFzEBps4hM/w-d-xo.html
@@iyadmajdi and to fit in the massive shuttle bay set, yes. In ST Beyond, we do get a better interior match to the new size though, such as the high windows around the saucer edge. But yes, it basically got doubled from 366 m to nearly twice that.
Don't you get annoyed with every "trekkie" that thinks an exploration / science ship ( enterptise 1701 ) will bully / destroy Warships from 2 different cultures that have better tech ( cloaking and disruptor weapons ) from warrior cultures ( Romulan and Klingon ) ? JJ actually got me reinterested in the series as it actually showed "humans" . We get dirty , sweat , bleed and make bad decisions . Yet work hard to make things "right" against impossible odds .

What we now call sexual harasment and rape was Gene's favorite thing to do to trek groupies ( young teenagers ) while he was married . He was also a communist yet never shared his wealth to mere commoners* Why do you think orginal died so quickly with TV excutives ? A society where federation councilor has the same "everything" as the averge "joe / jane " makes you wonder why would you put in the effort ? Self pride ? Self satifaction ?

We do it for the best food , housing and quality of life to get the best mate (s) and best chance for our kid (s) Socialism/ Communism has not worked on Earth but will it will in Space ?
I would have loved to see the Defiant and Voyager in there (if for no other reason than I think people would be surprised how big they actually were), but I'm glad to see the TARDIS included. Oddly, it's the smallest ship here, but has the largest internal volume.
The Defiant had about 4 maybe 5 decks so it should've been maybe 3 or 4 times the size of say the Millinium Falcon ' it had a standing crew count of 50 Officers , so at least that size for comparison .
I recall Defiant being somewhere from 120 to 180 meters on various Trek sites, with the general consensus being that the 120 is the more likely, depending on which VFX errors you choose to ignore.
There are a lot of non-NASA parts in it (mostly Russian, but i'm not sure if only). I found wiki pages for all of them: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assembly_of_the_International_Space_Station#:~:text=The%20ISS%20is%20made%20up,one%20European%20module%20(Columbus). And this is what google says: ''It is a multinational collaborative project involving five participating space agencies: NASA (United States), Roscosmos (Russia), JAXA (Japan), ESA (Europe), and CSA (Canada). The ownership and use of the space station is established by intergovernmental treaties and agreements.''
Using SpaceX Star Ship as engines I'm betting the Enterprise could be built in orbit and all the required tech could catch up in time and be fitted when it exists ??
@@ericaarseth7678 It's a multi-ownership item. Technically, the ISS is jointly owned by the USA, Russia, The EU, Japan and Canada but legally each of these are only responsible for the individual components they provide. So really there is no single owner, much like how a corporation is owned by the individual shareholders. And no it's not a starship but it is included here for scale.
This video is fantastic. Lots of fun. Please consider an updated version that has ships from Babylon 5, Stargate, and Andromeda among others. I know you can't do every ship that's appeared on screen, but those were from some long running shows. Once again, great job!
I was hoping to see the "Event Horizon" as I worked on the model for the movie. I'd have thought it would be one of the biggest space ships there. Also don't forget the "Valley Forge" from silent running my favourite Sci-Fi movie.
Really awesome ships here! I was surprised that the Super Star Destroyer (the Executor from Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi), Spaceball One from Spaceballs, and even both Death Stars weren't included in this video! Spaceball One measures 11 kilometers (6.8 miles) long, which would make a Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet look like a mosquito compared to its size!
@@TheBadboybrian Well, not exactly over it. More to the side. I'll always call him first, it'll never happen again! Never ever! (sees Helmet preparing his Schwarts). Oh no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no! No, no-no-no-no-no! No, please, please! No, not that!
And the most obvious overlooked Ship in any Universe, "The Super Uber Star System Ship the Magog Super Planet Killer" from the adventures of Andromeda! =D lest we forget that one too ;)
Nice selection. I would have loved to see more Macross, like the Macross Quarter, and more Warhammer 40k, like ships on the Imperial Navy, or at least those with consistent dimensions. Also some ships from Dan Dare! Still a very good video!
This is great. Though you realize you can't please everyone.....you still should have included a Saturn V rocket. Putting it next to the 2001 Space odyssey Discovery 1 would have been great, since they are both the same size.
Could you add one spaceship from Elite Dangerous in the next one? It would mean a lot, it doesn't appear to much on this kind of videos. Nice video and thanks for adding Macross, one of my favorite series
as much as I appreciate your inclusion of Macross, Yamato, and Cowboy Bebop, it'd be really great see other anime ships too. I know it is a minor anime, but I'd love to see how Bairal Jin and Ganda Rowa from Space Runaway Ideon compare with these ships. Another interesting one would be Jupitris from Z gundam.
The Viper is tiny barely bigger than the car. The engines on the Starfury look 2/3 the size of the entire Viper always thought those two fighters were closer in size than that!

Wow! I’m impressed you included every ship of my lifetime ! Included the Yamato AND SDF1! you know your stuff truly!
Glad you liked it!
This is truly eye widening
"Thundering Asteroids!" You did the SDF-1! Gloval would be proud.
Captain! ...no smoking on the bridge.
When your rocket gets compared to scifi stuff that’s when you know you’ve made it in life
When your rocket, that's when you know
@@cyberspectre8675 ya great point
This is amazing work. When start it....I was thinking about Avalon.....And what a nice surprise!!!!!....Great job again....I really enjoy it.
Thank you so much 😀
I'd have loved to have seen the UNSC Infinity (Halo) in this comparison, she and her sister ships were originally built as humanities lifeboats (so they were freaking huuuge) if the Covenant ever glassed Earth but were converted to capital warships at the end of the Human-Covenant war.
Great vid! Just needs a few more to make it a perfect vid; the Liberator, Moya, Excalibur, Andromeda Ascendant, Enterprise NX-01, Voyager (Intrepid Class), Klingon Bird of Prey, Romulan Warbird, Ferengi Marauder, and the Borg Sphere. I know there are others, but they're just the ones I'd like to see included. ;-)
Noted! It really depend if I can find a good 3D model since I typically won't used low polygon 3D model.
I knew the crew was rattling around inside the Bebop, but I didn't think it was the size of a capship!
Beautiful renderings on all these ships! Nicely done.
Glad you like them!
I love that you have every single ship I love. Plus they are in color. This hass been the comparison for me. Thank you.
Glad you like them!
Gorgeous rendering of Nostromo
Would have been great to see a Gun Star from 'The Last Starfighter' in there.
Maybe in version 3.0.
And the Kodan Command Ship
My first thought
Or the R9A Arrowhead from R-Type (with the attached Force) would be super cool
And the "Aliens" Dropship, but since Sulacco is already there I guess it's enough.
Happy to see Valkyrie and Avalon...
3:25 Awesome that you've gone and included the Normandy from Mass Effect...but the ship model you've got there is the SR-1, not the SR-2
I was gonna say the same
I also was goibg to say the same....
To add, both ships are similar in design but the SR2 is like 2X the size I think.
I'm also pretty sure that the "UNSC Destroyer" is actually a Prowler.
@@vegarose4638 yeah if I remember correctly the SR2 is actually based off the original design, but due to budget and the military needs, they scaled the project down and cut the size and functions of the sr1
@@vegarose4638 It's a destroyer. The Prowler looks totally different.
thanks for adding Macross ships
No problem!
This is cool! Nice work!
Thank you! Cheers!
Love these videos , there's just one ship I would have like have seen included and that is Moya the leviathan from Farscape 😊
Thanks for the great animation! Really helps to visualise how big the ships are compared to each other
No problem!
People always forget the Hammerhead from Space: Above and Beyond...
Bebop and Yamato side by side.... GLORIOUS! 🏆
You include Macross,Firefly and Yamato,so nice of you...exelent vídeo
Yes, thanks
It's so great to see Space Battleship Yamato get some recognition. Just yesterday, I was across town and stopped into an Anime store that I'd been meaning to check out for a while. They didn't have a single piece of Space Battleship Yamato merchandise. When I asked about it, they'd never even heard of the series. Sadly, this is the response I almost always get when I go somewhere that claims to specialize in anime. Ya basic!
I'm still a big fan of Robotech even though getting the merchandise isn't that easy anymore. I haven't watch Space Battleship Yamato but several fan pointed out why I didn't add it in my first video, so the fan has spoken and won.
@@Halfscreen A big part of the problem is that the series hasn't been given much of any promotion by Funimation or Crunchyroll. At one point, there were plans to air the 2012 reboot series on Cartoon Network, but nothing ever came of it. For decades, the distributor responsible for Star Blazers in North America and Europe was Voyager Entertainment, which was nothing more than one guy operating out of a tiny office in New Jersey. The result was the withering of the brand in the West down to only die hard fans. Even though it's now in the hands of people who know how to support the series, they appear to consider the damage to already be done, and aren't doing anything to repair the situation. It's still big in Japan, though.
@@WyldstaarStudios it's one of those "If I ever win the powerball" dreams of mine to do a Star Blazers movie (we do not speak of the trainwreck that is the Japanese live-action version)
@@Grey_Shard The live-action version is good though. Certainly the best live-action Anime adaptation.
@@Grey_Shard My "If I ever win the powerball" dream was to buy the rights to SBY and remake the original series using modern animation. Then in 2012 they went and did it, which shocked me in the extreme. I was even more shocked when it actually turned out to be great, and not a complete disaster.
Great comparison, however you forgot one of the most iconic ships that everyone forgets about the mother ship from Close Encounters of the Third Kind. Keep up the great work.
I tried to add all the ship based on the request and comments made on my previous animation, I may considered doing ver 3 and add Close Encounter, heck I'm a big fan of the classic.
@@Halfscreen Thank you
@@christopherquinn1879 No problem
Has anyone made a 3D model of that ship yet?
@@k1productions87 Closed Encounter starships movie would be using too much electric generator to power up Soo many LEDS lights of different types of colors of a 6 foot wide models scale version of the movie , and probably be using a semi- trailer truck to pull a big generator and including the just 1 big main Space Ship out of several types of smaller 🚀 Spaceships and including the Electric company guy with his truck who were sunburned by spaceship at NIGHT ‼️ .
I’d like to see how the Transformer’s Ark and Nemesis compare in size to all of these
And their spaceships from films)
Nice👍 please add in the ship from the last star fighter its a classic
I was somehow expecting the Death Star to be the surface that all these spacecraft are on.
You ain't the only one.
3:49 Yamato seen here still uses specifications as it was designed by Leiji Matsumoto and not 2199 remake. Lenghts of 285 meters (Original IJN Yamato + 30 meters of rocket aft (where Tachyon particles leave the ship , pushing it forward and fast)).
There's also the other ship with the similiar size also designed by the same person. but with aftcastle of old GAlleon. called Arcadia.
3:58 In Star Trek universe. there's another Federation ship with same class as Enterprise that's also named Yamato.
Yes I remember that one too
It would be nice if you could include Moya (Farscape), next time.
I notice Farscape is either blatantly ignored or overlooked on these videos. Farscape has amazing ships from Crichton's module to the Peacekeeper command carrier to the Zebanian to the Scarran Decimater.
Farscape is awesome and deserves to be included!
space whales are not starships even if they're capable of FTL
Even if some disagree with Moya, there are still plenty of ships from Farscape worth being included. But Moya deserves to be included as she is indeed a spaceship...a biomechonoid. I've seen other videos from this channel comparing flying ships include living creatures such as Falcor from Neverending Story and Drogon from Game of Thrones. Gee, if living creatures can be included on comparisons with nonliving vessels than Moya and Talyn both deserve to be included here.
Just seems Farscape gets left out. Unless it's just that Moya is so fantastic that there is no comparison. Maybe Farscape ships just are so much better there is no competition or comparison.
@@kingmasterlord you know on some of the other videos on this channel living beings are compared to other vessels. There's Falcor the dragon from Neverending Story and Drogon from Game of Thrones for example in a comparison of flying vessels. If dragons, which are alive can be compared to planes and aircraft than Moya should and can be included against other ships. Farscape does am also have a few other shops that could be included if not Moya and Talyn. Crichton's module, the Peacekeeper prowler, Marauder, command carrier, Scarran Decimator, Zenetan pirate ships, the Peacekeeper Zelbanian...etc. All worthy to be included.
look y'all I'm not against farscape or moya, but I don't see lexx or the tree-ships from tenchi muyo or anything
Would have loved to see a few more from Stargate and a model of Babylon 5. But brilliant video, thank you.
Next time and thanks for watching!
Really nice video, well done.
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@Halfscreen There was a similar video but that disappeared from TH-cam.
@@josephhaywardjr8502 I think Metaball studio created something similar.
@@Halfscreen In all honesty i just wanted to see the Valkyrie from Avatar.
@@josephhaywardjr8502 Seem like everybody has their favorite.
Really happy to see the Avalon, that's a really nice ship.
I have to admit, it's great design, especially in the movie.
Great video! although I am kind of disappointed that you didn’t do the gigantic ships from Star Wars and halo
Maybe Next time!
I hope because I’d really like to see big ships like the Long night of solace and the Executor
@@Mae1strom Bigger is Better.
@@Mae1strom I probably do another comparison in six months, this time with bigger ship.
I missed the Imperial SSD Executor with its whopping 16 km, and of course the two Death Stars that are still much larger!
Am I the only one who’s a little annoyed at Abrams’ whole “everything in my Star Trek is bigger and faster and shinier, and my Enteprise is bigger than a galaxy class lol” thing?
Mr JJ destroyed Star Wars and Star Trek. He's totally pathetic.
That whole ship has serious scaling issues. For the most part, its features make it look like its the same size as the original design, but JJ got the scaling completely wrong for the shuttlebay which results in the ship apparently being bigger than a Galaxy-class.
@@Helbore actually there’s a video on the JJverse Enterprise’s correct size. It actually details that JJ said the Enterprise was closer to the original’s size. It was Paramount that came up with the 700+ meter scale.
Edit: CBS came up with the size and heres the link to the vid th-cam.com/video/yGFzEBps4hM/w-d-xo.html
@@iyadmajdi and to fit in the massive shuttle bay set, yes. In ST Beyond, we do get a better interior match to the new size though, such as the high windows around the saucer edge.
But yes, it basically got doubled from 366 m to nearly twice that.
Don't you get annoyed with every "trekkie" that thinks an exploration / science ship ( enterptise 1701 ) will bully / destroy Warships from 2 different cultures that have better tech ( cloaking and disruptor weapons ) from warrior cultures ( Romulan and Klingon ) ?
JJ actually got me reinterested in the series as it actually showed "humans" . We get dirty , sweat , bleed and make bad decisions . Yet work hard to make things "right" against impossible odds .
Roddenberry's star trek was sanitized and sterile . 3rd season of orginal / the creature feature of the week .
*You might want to read up on good old Gene . What we now call sexual harasment and rape was Gene's favorite thing to do to trek groupies ( young teenagers ) while he was married . He was also a communist yet never shared his wealth to mere commoners* Why do you think orginal died so quickly with TV excutives ?
A society where federation councilor has the same "everything" as the averge "joe / jane " makes you wonder why would you put in the effort ? Self pride ? Self satifaction ?
Sorry this goes against everything in human evolution , competition is normal . We do it for the best food , housing and quality of life to get the best mate (s) and best chance for our kid (s)
Socialism/ Communism has not worked on Earth but will it will in Space ?
This is so awesome! Thank you.
Glad you liked it! There also an update version.
th-cam.com/video/ixLRm3_8Mac/w-d-xo.html
I'm happy they come in color now!
Love the blend of real and fictional craft
I would have loved to see the Defiant and Voyager in there (if for no other reason than I think people would be surprised how big they actually were), but I'm glad to see the TARDIS included. Oddly, it's the smallest ship here, but has the largest internal volume.
I had a few complaint about not having TARDIS in my previous animation, so its a must in this new updated version.
The Defiant had about 4 maybe 5 decks so it should've been maybe 3 or 4 times the size of say the Millinium Falcon ' it had a standing crew count of 50 Officers , so at least that size for comparison .
I recall Defiant being somewhere from 120 to 180 meters on various Trek sites, with the general consensus being that the 120 is the more likely, depending on which VFX errors you choose to ignore.
And the Asgard ships too...
I think it would be really interesting to include a star trek shuttlecraft and/or runabout.
Fabulous presentation. One question: is the ISS considered a NASA vessel? Just curious. Again, well done.
There are a lot of non-NASA parts in it (mostly Russian, but i'm not sure if only). I found wiki pages for all of them: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assembly_of_the_International_Space_Station#:~:text=The%20ISS%20is%20made%20up,one%20European%20module%20(Columbus).
And this is what google says: ''It is a multinational collaborative project involving five participating space agencies: NASA (United States), Roscosmos (Russia), JAXA (Japan), ESA (Europe), and CSA (Canada). The ownership and use of the space station is established by intergovernmental treaties and agreements.''
Using SpaceX Star Ship as engines I'm betting the Enterprise could be built in orbit and all the required tech could catch up in time and be fitted when it exists ??
It most certainly is not a "starship"
@@ericaarseth7678 Don't tell that to Elon Musk... =D
@@ericaarseth7678 It's a multi-ownership item. Technically, the ISS is jointly owned by the USA, Russia, The EU, Japan and Canada but legally each of these are only responsible for the individual components they provide. So really there is no single owner, much like how a corporation is owned by the individual shareholders.
And no it's not a starship but it is included here for scale.
This video is fantastic. Lots of fun. Please consider an updated version that has ships from Babylon 5, Stargate, and Andromeda among others. I know you can't do every ship that's appeared on screen, but those were from some long running shows. Once again, great job!
Thanks and here is the update.
th-cam.com/video/ixLRm3_8Mac/w-d-xo.html
Excellent work!
Many thanks!
My pleasure
How wonderful is to see real spacecrafts among the fantasy ones?
I wanted to add some real spacecrafts to get a sense of scale.
I had always imagined SDF-1 Macross to be bigger.
it's a shame they didn't add the later Macross ships as they're much bigger
Considering that the damn thing contains a city, you'd think so.
Somewhere in Robotech I recall 4,000 feet mentioned, which is 1,200 meters as noted here.
I was hoping to see the "Event Horizon" as I worked on the model for the movie. I'd have thought it would be one of the biggest space ships there. Also don't forget the "Valley Forge" from silent running my favourite Sci-Fi movie.
The event horizon should be in the next update
What about the " 2010," Space Odyssey with Roy Snider from the " JAW," Giant Great White Shark 🦈 movie .
OMG!
All these ships look cool!
The Vf-25f is the sexiest ship on this. Man Macross had great designs
Really awesome ships here! I was surprised that the Super Star Destroyer (the Executor from Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi), Spaceball One from Spaceballs, and even both Death Stars weren't included in this video! Spaceball One measures 11 kilometers (6.8 miles) long, which would make a Boeing 747 Jumbo Jet look like a mosquito compared to its size!
What?! You went Over his helmet!?!? =P
@@TheBadboybrian Well, not exactly over it. More to the side. I'll always call him first, it'll never happen again! Never ever! (sees Helmet preparing his Schwarts). Oh no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no-no! No, no-no-no-no-no! No, please, please! No, not that!
@@77PacerStudios YES... That!! **BAZAAAPP**!! and the look on Kernal sanders face... Pricele$$!! =D
You mean the second Death Star that looked incomplete, vulnerable and "Fully Operational Battle Station.." still with the same Flaw of the last one?
And the most obvious overlooked Ship in any Universe, "The Super Uber Star System Ship the Magog Super Planet Killer" from the adventures of Andromeda! =D lest we forget that one too ;)
I’d like to see Thunderbird 3, 5, Starbug and Red Dwarf please.
Maybe in version 3.

Would have loves to see Andromeda on there. I think it is bigger that Enterprise D?
Right...I was just coming on here to see if anyone commented. Andromeda Ascendant might just be the most powerful ship in sci fi world.
@@drewstar412 Yeah. Firepower equal to the Death Star, with the maneuverability of an X-Wing! Wonderful combination! lol

Excellent, a real piece of art, thank you so much for this little jewel !
Glad you like it!
Nice selection. I would have loved to see more Macross, like the Macross Quarter, and more Warhammer 40k, like ships on the Imperial Navy, or at least those with consistent dimensions. Also some ships from Dan Dare!
Still a very good video!
Imperial Navy: Laughs in 40k xD
40k is trash though, so it doesn't count for anything.
This is great. Though you realize you can't please everyone.....you still should have included a Saturn V rocket. Putting it next to the 2001 Space odyssey Discovery 1 would have been great, since they are both the same size.
True, there are so many ships, I can't really put all of them on my video due to logistic. File size was at least 4 gb.

as much as I appreciate your inclusion of Macross, Yamato, and Cowboy Bebop, it'd be really great see other anime ships too. I know it is a minor anime, but I'd love to see how Bairal Jin and Ganda Rowa from Space Runaway Ideon compare with these ships.
Another interesting one would be Jupitris from Z gundam.
I used to remember watching a ton of anime back when I was younger and they still give me fond memory.
The Viper is tiny barely bigger than the car. The engines on the Starfury look 2/3 the size of the entire Viper always thought those two fighters were closer in size than that!
It's way too big. The pilot stands in a Star fury cockpit and there isn't alot of extra room.
@@jimmyjohnjames6397 also IIRC the MKII Viper is actually a little smaller than the MKI so that makes any size discrepancy even more obvious.
I hope this kind of videos on REAL STARSHIPS will be on the near future TH-cam.
Enjoyable! Well done!!!

Thank you for so clearly demonstrating the supremacy of Star Trek.
Thanks Cyxh.
Anyone can add ten zeros behind the made up number, can't save it from being so lacking in detail though.
The true supremacy is in how cool, sleek and iconic the ships look. The Normandy is the only competition IMO.
Sorry to pile on here.
For the TOS USS Enterprise, shouldn't it be NCC 1701?
It's a typo.
