These Are The Coolest Spaceships In All Of Science Fiction

To boldly go… if we could do one thing in our lifetime, it would be to boldly go where any famous star traveler has gone before us. Sure, said travelers may have only gone to a sound stage and a VFX studio, but we can still dream, can’t we?

And just because we’ve yet to see the dawn of actual space travel (we’re waiting on you, SpaceX), that doesn’t mean we can’t imagine ourselves aboard the greatest interplanetary — and, on a few occasions, interdimensional — fictional vessels ever imaged. These are the coolest sci-fi spaceships of all time.

Discovery One (2001: A Space Odyssey)

This nuclear-powered craft was originally built to carry its crew to Jupiter, but extended its trip after HAL 9000, the AI designed to control its systems, began to malfunction in fun and interesting ways. It does boast a zero-gravity command module, which probably makes for a pretty exciting trip.

TARDIS (Dr. Who)

Featuring both space- and time-travel capabilities, the Doctor’s TARDIS is an all-in-one sci-fi craft that can blend into its surroundings perfectly. That is, if he could just get its chameleon circuit to work properly.

O’Neill-class Ship (Stargate SG-1)

Designed by one of the most advanced races in the universe, the O’Neill-class ship is the most cutting-edge warship in the Asgard fleet. When the species responsible for humankind’s continued existence builds a warship, chances are it’ll be pretty unbeatable.

O’Neill-class Ship (Stargate SG-1)

The O’Neill isn’t just massive in size, but it’s also aerodynamic, highly maneuverable, and fast, able to travel over 1200 lightyears in seconds.
