That's pretty cool, thanks for posting it. I'll have to watch it tomorrow with my son. He's all about space ships at this age.

Someone had some serious spare time on their hands to research, then create and piece this together. Very neat.
In the actual video I didn't see one ship that was on the introductory splash screen, the big one beyond the Darth Vader's Executor Super Star Destroyer from Return of the Jedi. What was that behemoth from?

I had completely forgotten how large the RingWorld was. Big enough to surround a star - so it makes sense...
Need to dig that out of the basement and read it again.

Pretty nifty, but leaving out Serenity was a major omission, I thought.

I am only familiar with a few a small fraction of the ships shown.

I knew more of them than I expected. Nice to put real ships in as references.
Quite a few from The Expanse.

The Romulan ship Narada was a Big MOFO, always thought the Jellyship was cool in that same movie.

Compared to the Kelvin/Enterprise it seemed pretty huge, a bit surprised to not see it on the list.

Watched it twice. Love the mix of music.

Oh man I loved Space Above and Beyond! It ended on such a cliffhanger.

Saw that earlier. I enjoy all his size comparison videos. I was surprised to see the Nostromo was so much larger than the Space Engineers' ship. The Bebop was also much larger than I originally thought, but upon reflection it makes sense.

Yeah, that's a great show. I just bought the DVD set and finished watching it.
That was a cool video. Amazing how 'big' some of those ships were.

That was cool.
It also presented a stark contrast between the efforts of ship designs.

I'm gonna let the sci-fi nerd come out and say I've always been fascinated with space ships. I love size comparisons and cross sections.
