Best mode of transportation: The Spaceship
On a daily basis, I hear my friends talk about what car they’d love to drive. A BMW this or that. I don’t know about you, but there’s another form of transportation I’d kill to take to work every day: a spaceship!
In lieu of fans everywhere that agree, here’s a look at some of the coolest, creepiest, and funniest spaceships to ever to grace TV and film.

If you’re one of those people that loves a behind the scenes look at the architecture of such a ship, check out the blueprints for almost every Star Trek ship to date!

Death Star (Star Wars)
Though technically a space station, this moon-shaped creation needs to be on the list!

Serenity (Firefly)
The coolest part about this ship is that, when it’s taking off, the lighted back end makes it look like (you guessed it) a firefly!

The Mothership (Close Encounters of the Third Kind)

Stargate Atlantis
Though the exterior is also cool, it’s the gate room that makes the ships in any Stargate series unique!
