WORST TV SHOW EVER MADE!!!!!!!!! Seriously! This is worse than Caillou AND Barney COMBINDED!!!
This has got to be the worst show ever made! Seriously, I could go on for HOURS explaining why I hate this show so much but to put it simple as to why this show is worse than any show, simple, GERALD! IS! ANNOYING AND UGLY!! SERIOUSLY, HE'S HIGH ON COCAIAN OR SOMETHING OR HIGH ON HILUIM (sorry for the wrong spelling if there was any)! Go watch something better like Daniel Tiger's Neighborhood, or Dinosaur Train, or Odd Squad! Those shows are way more educational while also being fun and enjoyable! The Concept is soooo unoriginal, Like It's Bill Nye The Science Guy but poorly animated and awful voice acting, as well as bad casting choices! May is an OK Character and the backgrounds do look pretty good, which came on my most recent rewatch about 2 months ago, and PS, it's just got worse upon that rewatch, it feels like they only took the effort on the background and nothing else, this still does not help! Easily the worst show ever made, easily an F

...Okay
Not the best thing in the world, but it's alright if you want to teach your kids about STEM and other concepts. However the animation might creep out some people.

Sid The Science Kid is beautiful
This show is such a masterpiece.
The episodes are thought provoking and extremely philosophical, while still managing to be extremely entertaining through the endearing characters and breathtaking CGI. However it could too philosophical for those who are looking for more lighthearted works, so when you watch it expect TONS, and I mean TONS, of deep content. Also I put age 3 and up to make it seem more appealing, because believe you me, I want to recommend this show more than is physically possible, but it is definitely NOT appropriate for that age group due to its themes. As Common Sense Media said, it’s definitely for teenagers and up due to its themes. When I was 12, I tried to watch it, but couldn’t understand it. Now that I’m 13, I understand the themes much more. Please watch it if you’re 13+, please.

Sid The Science Kid
I personally don't understand why most people on here dislike or hate it because I don't hate it.
I think that some of the scenes are funny and it is educational and good.

Bruh chill out
it is a pancake-flipping kids show. we are not rating the shawshank redemption. even though they are quite annoying and look like they were designed by a blind person using blender. My only concern is: what curriculum does the school follow? because every lesson seems to revolve around sid's questions.

Low effort coming from 2 10 year olds and an 8 year old
This show barely talks about Science at all plus the voice acting is really bad. The characters all seem very cookie-cutter and they don’t have very in-depth personalities. But at the same time this is a toddler cartoon it’s not like I’m reviewing some movie about finding your inner self.
The pink kid is very annoying and a bad role model because he blurts out and pretends to be an animal at carpet time . Also jokes are so low effort that anything could be a joke in this show. For instance in the chart episode one of the jokes is what do you call a chart about charts? Too many charts! But hey when it show tries to incorporate teaching kids in a fun way kudos to that so to 2 stars.
Sorry, Sid. I hate you.
Before we got here, before we fully appreciated the magnitude of our crazy undertaking (yeah, yeah, I know..."you did it before you appreciated the magnitude...?!?" yada yada yada) I had this notion that we weren't going to have a television at all. We sold our old one back in California before we moved and that was going to be it.
p.s. Our old one was nine years old.
Pretty sweet, right? Yeah, it was FREE.
But then we got here and everything was so different and insane and topsy-turvy (not the thing that grows tomatoes upside down.
No, the thing that makes you pray you're living some B version of The Truman Show). So when I called to have our internet hooked up (I was like a junkie...all shaky, single minded. Must. Log on. To Facebook) and they offered us a FREE flat screen t.v. if we signed up for satellite television with them, I caved. I just wanted a little bit of familiar, a little bit of normalcy. A little bit if freaking peace and quiet.
That's the long introduction to me saying: I hate Sid the Science Kid.
If I were not so nice, I might even say I loathe it.
Despise it.
The show. The person. The voices. The creators. Take your pick. If I were not so nice, I would tell you that I hate them all!
Stupid television. That show is the opposite of peace and quiet. It is war and loud. War and loud, I tell you!
Look, if the people behind Blue's Clues (which I love and adore and want to marry when I turn into a.
..thing...that can, um, marry shows) can get real children to do the voices of the characters who are supposed to be children then one would think, ONE WOULD THINK!!! that the doofusses responsible for the tragedy that is Sid the Science Kid could at least observe some real, live, human children in an attempt to recreate them in a manner that is somewhat congruent to reality. In other words: no kids actually talk or act like that. Thank God.
Please...mostly bald boy, kindly stop with the air guitar. Quiet female, try blowing your nose. It does wonders for that stuffed-sinus sound you seem so fond of. Teacher lady: STOP SINGING. For the love of all that is holy and good, stop with the dance-around act. "If you human preschool teachers were any good, you'd dance and sing and be honey-bunny sweety sweet sweet all the tiddly toodly time!" she says. Or seems to say, with that smug cartoony face of hers. And then there's Sid, who is always running! and leaping! and telling jokes into his toy microphone! and cheering for chores! Happy to eat breakfast! Happy to clean up my mess! Asking questions that a boy of his age would never ask in a manner they would never ask it in! Hey, dude who does that character.
..shut it. You're not foolin' anyone. You've never met a kid in your life, and you know it.
Seriously.
Now The Backyardigans....that there is a show I can get behind!

how the most famous ships from games and movies work - Movies and TV shows on DTF
And also what they are armed with and how they fly.
26 234 views
Perhaps there is no person on Earth who would not dream of going on a journey on a spaceship. So it's not for nothing that science fiction writers have come up with a lot of different starships - from realistic ones that work "according to physics" to more fantastic ones.
Imagine what the future fleet of the Earth may consist of.
We chose the most popular ships and decided to find out how they fly, what they carry on board, whether they have protection or weapons, what they are intended for. One bright representative per conditional group.
The list includes only ships from films and games - it would take several years to cover also literature. If you didn't find your favorite starship in the list, don't be upset and tell us about it in the comments.
USS Discovery One - the ship for the first interplanetary flights
Crew: 5
Class: Interplanetary Research Vessel
Armament : None
Engine : Gas phase nuclear engine
Origin : Space Odyssey 2001
"Discovery 1" is not only one of the oldest ships in the collection, but also one of the most realistic. Outwardly, it resembles a dumbbell - behind is a nuclear jet engine, in front - a sphere with a crew accommodation module. They are separated by a thin and strong frame, to which the communication antennas and other subsystems are attached.
Discovery 1 was built in space as it is a whopping 120 (140 according to other sources) meters long. Of these, two-thirds falls on the frame - all in order to protect team members from radiation in the engineering department. Initially, the ship was supposed to fly thanks to a series of controlled explosions, but in the end the creators decided to use more traditional jet propulsion.
The internals of Discovery One as seen by Oliver Rennert
Inside the sphere is a centrifuge that rotates at a speed of approximately 5 km/h. Due to the rotation on board, artificial gravity is created, close to the lunar one, which saves the team from muscle atrophy, osteoporosis and other negative effects of weightlessness.
Also inside the "carousel" there was a place for a kitchen, a toilet, a shower room, a table and a computer for communication with the Earth. The centrifuge contains five crew hibernation chambers to pass the flight time.
In addition, Discovery One had a hangar for auxiliary shuttles, several airlocks, a command bridge and a HAL 9000 on-board computer core.
At first, his task was to study the moons of Jupiter, but as a result, the crew went on an even more distant expedition - to study a mysterious anomaly near Saturn.
Similar ships
"Space Odyssey" and "Discovery One" in particular served as a prototype for many different "realistic" ships.
You can think of " Icarus 1 " and " Icarus 2 " from the movie Inferno, who went on a mission to deliver a thermonuclear bomb to the sun. The ships were protected by a solar shield, so that all modules were in the shade.
Icarus 2
Another ship reminiscent of Discovery One is Hermes from The Martian. It was also built in orbit, propelled by jet ion thrusters, had a centrifuge to maintain artificial gravity, and communicated with the surface via multiple shuttles. The Hermes ships were used in the Ares programs to study Mars.
The Hermes was built jointly by NASA, Roskosmos, the European, Japanese and Indian space agencies.
And the construction site was provided by the private company SpaceX in the form of its own space station.
Hermes
And one of the largest such ships is ISV Venture Star . In the movie Avatar, it is meant to travel between the solar system and Alpha Centauri. For 6.75 years at a speed of 0.7 from the light Venture Star can transport about a hundred colonists in hibernation, four crew members and a bunch of different goods and equipment.
Venture Star
The ship is about 1600 meters long, its engines run on hybrid technology, which includes one fusion reactor and two antimatter converters, and in interstellar space the ship uses proton sails.
There is a protective screen at the front of the ship, and two radiators can be seen at the back to drain energy from the engines. Similar radiators were in the early concepts of Discovery One.
Venture Star
Venture Star, like its predecessors, cannot descend into the atmosphere, so the delivery of cargo is carried out by small transport ships of the Valkyrie class.
According to the prediction of the film, by the beginning of the events of the film, earthlings will have as many as 12 such interstellar ships.
USS Enterprise NCC-1701 -
Multipurpose Research Cruiser Crew : 430 people
Class : Constitution class heavy cruiser
Armament : Photon torpedoes, phase emitters
Drive : Pulse drive, warp drive
Origin : Star Trek universe
Enterprise is a state-of-the-art research aircraft carrier. If the previous ships represented the first timid steps of humanity in space exploration, then the Enterprise personifies the full force of the collective genius of people. Well, at the time of leaving the shipyards, of course.
Like most Starfleet ships, the Enterprise consists of three main parts - a central dish with a bridge and living quarters, an engineering deck with a hangar, and a pair of warp drive pods. As with Discovery One, the engines are located as far away from living quarters as possible for safety reasons.
The ship runs on lithium and dilithium reactors. Like the rest of the ships, the Enterprise uses two types of engines. Impulse is not fundamentally different from those known to modern science - it is based on thrust by throwing mass out of the ship. However, the warp drive works quite differently - it compresses the space in front of the ship and stretches behind, which allows you to outwit Einstein's equation and move faster than light.
In case of combat, the Enterprise is armed with 18 phasers, two forward photon torpedo launchers and deflector shields. At least seven turbolifts connect the various compartments of the ship. Among them - the engineering department, medical, laboratories, meeting rooms, living decks, a hangar and, of course, the heart of the ship - the captain's bridge, located in the upper part.
Despite the fact that the Enterprise was built on a military model, its goals are quite peaceful - to explore the far reaches of space, where no man has gone before.
During their five-year mission, the crew of the Enterprise encounters previously unknown species and constantly finds itself in morally difficult situations that test the integrity of Starfleet officers.

Starfleet is not the only company known for the Enterprise. It is worth remembering the Fearless-class starship USS Voyager (NCC-74656). It is smaller than the Constitution-class ships, but faster and more nimble.
Ship hulls tend to take damage in the warp: the higher the warp speed, the more damage. And Voyager is just one of the most durable ships. So it is he who can travel for a long time at a warp speed of 9.975 - the largest in the universe. And in the course of the series, it was also improved with the help of Borg technologies.
Class "Fearless"
But the Galaxy-class ships are somewhat the opposite of the Fearless. Huge, powerful, fast and very expensive - they were the most ambitious project of the fleet at the time of their creation.
In addition to increased firepower and defensive capacity, the Galaktika ships had as many as 3 hangars, and their capacity increased to 6,000 people (15,000 at maximum load).
Galaxy class. Captain Jacques-Luc Picard's Enterprise
Nobody likes the Borg for showing up uninvited. But since they are in the selection, it is worth talking about their Cube. This expedition ship is the epitome of the whole philosophy of a race (if the Borg can be called that, of course), accustomed to assimilating foreign cultures in search of perfection.
The cube has about 130,000 drones on board, it is armed with gravitational and laser beams, magnetometric charges, missiles, and for protection - adaptive shields, auto-regeneration bots and subspace field emitters. And this is only from known devices.
And here's the Starfleet's experimental Starfleet Discovery, which belongs to the Crossfield class. Only two examples were built. After an unsuccessful intervention in the timeline, all information about them was classified.
Crossfield class
The main feature of the Crossfield-class ships was the spore engine, based on the assumption that at the quantum level there is no difference between biology and physics. The not fully understood mycelium of the mysterious mushroom threads was at the same time the network of energy from which all matter in the universe was built. So, using such a network, Discovery could instantly move between distant points of the galaxy and even universes.
All in all, Starfleet has just started exploring the galaxy and has no plans to stop, so we're sure we haven't heard about all of its ships yet.

Class : Star Destroyer
Armament : 60 XX-9 heavy turbolaser batteries, 60 NK-7 ion cannons and 10 tractor beam projectors 01409 0500050 : 7 Gemon-4 Ion Drives, Class 2 Hyperdrive

6 km combat dreadnought with 72 fighters and 9000 airborne assault aircraft on board
Origin : Star Wars universe
Balsavor
When diplomacy is not enough, nothing will defend our home system better than a fleet of battleships. And so it is worth remembering the good old Imperial-I - after all, no matter how much we love the Falcon, it is he who is the real star in the flotilla of the Distant Galaxy.
The Imperial I carries 37,000 personnel, of which 9,253 are officers. And that's not counting the additional landing force, combat fighters, transport shuttles and repair droids. The cruiser has enough provisions, fuel and supplies for 2 years of battery life.
On top of the Imperial, protected by shields, is a command bridge from which captains and admirals direct the battle. Below it are the cabins of the high command, even lower - the quarters for officers.
In the middle of the ship there are barracks for ordinary soldiers, rest and training rooms, as well as interrogation and detention cells.
There is an internal security service on board, which strictly monitors the observance of discipline and the implementation of orders from the command.
Separately, it is worth talking about the engines and the reactor in the stern of the cruiser. The Imperial, like the rest of the ships in the Star Wars universe, uses two types of engines.
To move faster than the speed of light, you need a hyperdrive, a device made from an alloy of titanium and chromium. With the help of hypermatter, antimatter or other source of energy, he is able to throw the ship into hyperspace - an alternative dimension in which you can "cut off" the distance.
The galactic community is built on the basis of hyperspace movements and known paths. In order for the crew to survive during the jump, the ships are equipped with inertia compensators. The shields protect the ship from deadly collisions with interstellar gas and cosmic dust. The quantum field generator keeps the ship from prematurely returning to real space.
And a special device compensates for relativistic effects and maintains the normal flow of time.
It should also be said that massive objects in reality cast hyperspace shadows - a collision with them is fatal. The exact travel time depends on the specific route, so in unknown places you can get lost for a very long time. And close to large objects, you can’t jump into hyperspace at all - you need to go beyond their gravitational influence. All this makes travel dangerous.
Warships like the Imperial can use this to their advantage - long-range scanners can detect an enemy as they approach, special generators can block hyperspace travel in a region, and a gravibeam can capture a specific ship.
Imperial warships otherwise use traditional methods of movement. 7 ion thrusters of the Signus Corporation create thrust that moves the Imperial both in space and in the atmosphere of the planet (in airspace they can move at a speed of 900 km / h).
Powers the solar reactor in the center of the ship.
Technicians and scientists of the Galactic Empire have mastered the technology of gravity control: the ship has a gravity beam that can capture intruders, and artificial gravity on board. Perhaps, like smaller vehicles, the Imperial has repulsors that allow it to bounce off the surface and float in the air.
It is not known if the cruiser can land like its predecessors, but it can hover motionless over the city.
As a rule, Imperial-class ships patrol the borders of the Empire, catch interlopers and smugglers, and also participate in operations to suppress riots and maintain order in outlying systems.

First of all, "Imperial I" should be compared with " Venator " and " Reborn " - its predecessor and successor, respectively. Although we are not talking about a serious comparison: the Imperial I is 400 m longer, larger and better than the Venator in every way. And the 3-kilometer "Revived" will cope with both of them without any problems.
"Venator" developed the ideas of the Acclamator strike cruiser and was conceived primarily as a universal multi-purpose cruiser. Its distinguishing feature was a hangar in the upper part of the ship, intended to carry more than 400 fighters. The Venators were painted the diplomatic red of the Republic. After the formation of the Empire, they were repainted in strict gray.
But the "Revived" was built taking into account all the shortcomings of the "Imperial I". It carried insane firepower on board - more than 1500 turbolasers. More than 70 thousand crew members served it.
The construction of such ships was financed by secret sponsors sympathetic to the remnants of the imperial fleet.
The ships of the Distant Galaxy don't end there - there's also the Trade Federation armada, Rebel ships, private ships and relics from the Old Republic era. In general, they are united by practicality, a calm, everyday attitude to technology, the use of accessible and simple materials.
Accumulators, radiators, semiconductors, gas ionizers, chemical, thermal and nuclear reactors - the structure of the ships of the future is not much different from ours. And the more popular the technology, the easier it is for us to understand and accept it. We can personally evaluate the ingenious solutions of space technologies thanks to the album of official cross-sections, showing in detail the work of technology.
As for combat dreadnoughts, they can be found in almost every self-respecting space opera. Among the games is the fleet of the Citadel with " The path of destination » at the head.
" Pillars of Autumn " and the Covenant fleet in Halo. The lost fleet of Earth forces in Dead Space 3.
Endless processions of merchant and warships in Series X and No Man's Sky. Descent, Wing Commander, hundreds of arcade shoot'em'ups and more. And that's not to mention online games like EVE, Elite: Dangerous and Star Citizen.
I would like to pay special attention to the flagship of Raynor's Raiders " Hyperion " from Starcraft 2: Wings of Liberty. One of the best RTS games surprised us with a well-thought-out design of the flagship, where you can safely choose your next assignment on the bridge, do some parallel research in the laboratory, explore the arsenal of your own troops in the hangar, or just have a drink or two in the bar, listening to the latest news. Not forgetting to talk to every character you meet, of course.
But the flagships of the other two sides of the conflict - the protoss and the zerg - are just as well designed.
Did not bypass the military theme and anime. In fact, long before the popularization of the space opera on Western television, it was in Japan that several serious military space operas were filmed - our author Semyon Kostin devoted a separate material to this topic.
It is worth noting that Japanese animation was not limited by the technical possibilities, like game television, so the artists were able to show the battles in all their glory.
"Macross" and "Gundam" told the story from the point of view of pilots on sorties with inherent brutality and psychological trauma. "Battleship Yamato" showed a post-apocalyptic odyssey in search of a new home. And the biggest battles happened in The Legend of the Heroes of the Galaxy.
A real boom in space battles happened at the end of the century on television. It is worth remembering the political thriller "Babylon 5" with the memorable strike cruiser " White Star ", and the terrible Cylon fleet from Battlestar Galactica, and the flagships " Daedalus " and " Biliskner " from Stargate.
But the series "Space" coped best with space battles. In it, ships use realistic weapons - rockets and railguns, events take place in an airless space, where gravity and inertia must be taken into account, and radiation and vacuum kill no worse than lasers and torpedoes.
A rather unusual design of warships has developed in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Its creators tried to move away from hackneyed images and used sharp, aggressive forms along with natural materials. As a result, many of them are remembered - that « Black Star " by Ronan, which is " Sanctuary II " by Thanos, which is the Dark Elf hive ship.
And yet, when it comes to powerful warships, the winner is obvious. In the dark future of the Warhammer 40K universe, only war awaits the occasional visitor. For thousands of years, the sacred Imperium of Mankind has been waging a bloody war against the forces of Chaos. The number of victims goes into the billions, and the parties do not hesitate to use the strangest types of weapons.
Star killers, artificial black holes, planetary viruses, warp bombs and finally - A fleet of sacred dreadnoughts of the Emperor, ready to wipe out entire star systems.
USCSS The Nostromo - utility industrial tractor
The number of crew : 7 people
Grade : Ship Lokhid Martin CM-88B “Jaggert“ Jaggernaut ”
Armament : there is no
engine : high-light tachion engines: 4 ד Yutani T7A NLS ”, pre-lane driving engines : "Rolls-Royce N66 Cyclone" tubular type with a bidirectional thrust vector (thrust - 7.29million tons, or 64.9 giganewtons) - 2 pcs.; shunting "Weyland L46" (thrust - 850 thousand tons, or 7.6 giganewtons) - 2 pcs.; external low thrust module "Yutani J38" with two groups of engines "Lockheed Martin TL-30"
Ship device : private commercial starship tug
Origin : Alien universe
In fact, it is unlikely that in space humanity will get involved in a war.
The main problem will be logistics and economics. And humanity will need just not marines, but hard-working miners.
Nostromo is a tugboat, 243 m long, 164 m wide. The ship itself weighs only 40 thousand tons, but on request it transports a processing platform 1 by 1.5 km with dimensions and a mass of 20 million tons. This is exactly what we see in the film.
"Nostromo" has three decks with a rather complex interweaving of rooms. Among them: a bridge, suspended animation and medical compartments, a warehouse, a wardroom, an airlock, a reactor room and an engine room. Look at this very good analysis of the structure of the ship.
At the same time, the film itself willingly shares technical details. Thus, the ship operates on a deuterium-tritium fusion reactor "Laratel WF-15" with a capacity of 2.8 TW. It has superluminal and several sublight engines.
An empty ship can move at a speed of 153 light years (0.42 light years per day), together with a cargo - 0.
10-0.12 light years per day.
Lv-426.ru
The ship is equipped with two-meter telescopes operating in the optical and infrared ranges, a gas chromatograph, a navigation and landing radar operating in the centimeter range, a surface-scanning radar with a synthetic aperture, and a hyperspace mass counter.
The ship is controlled by a MU/TH/UR 182 computer with 2.1 TB of memory and artificial intelligence, and there is also a backup mainframe with 2 TB of memory.
Nostromo has aerodynamic brakes, atmospheric stabilizers, landing legs and can land on the surface of planets and planetoids. The ship is equipped with space suits for staying outside the hull and an additional transport shuttle.
The crew consists of the captain and his assistant, warrant officer, navigator, mechanic, research officer and engineer. The ship is minimally controllable with four crew members.
The tasks of the team included loading and unloading goods, taking off and landing on the planet, flight and repair work.
The estimated duration of the mission is 14 months, the maximum autonomy is 24 months.
What the crew didn't know - so the ship has a secret protocol from the Corporation in case of an unexpected First Contact.
Nostromo is a prime example of a serious, measured approach to science fiction. Even if not all the details are meticulously calculated, even if a few things like artificial gravity and superluminal movements remain without explanation, the ship creates a convincing image.
It really looks like a vehicle that people will use in their daily routine.
Similar ships
"Nostromo" is associated primarily with the silent tragedy that happened within its walls. There were several other ships with a similar fate - " Event Horizon ", which unsuccessfully tested an interdimensional drive, and " Von Braun ", which set off on a secret assignment from the Trioptium Corporation. But most of all, the fate of the Nostromo is reminiscent of what happened on the mining ship " Ishimura " from Dead Space.
USG Ishimura
The creators of USG Ishimura can be accused of copying too much, but they compensate for the lack of originality with the design and development of all decks - engineering, medical, transport compartment, bridge, hold, personal quarters. And the mixture of the industrial environment with the gloomy gothic of the ship's frame is remembered no less than the design of Syd Meade.
Station "Sevastopol"
In the Alien universe itself, a lot of places convey a piece of Nostromo's mood - and the warship " Sulaco ", and the prison "Fiorina", and even the research shuttle " Prometheus " - but it turned out best at the reference station " Sevastopol " orbiting the gas giant KG-348, from Alien: Isolation.
The ship closest in spirit and purpose to the Nostromo is DS-12 "Toy Box" from the anime Planetes. It tells about the everyday life of people who are forced to clean up debris in near-Earth orbit.
The anime clearly shows that in the foreseeable future in space, people will not have adventures, but hard, painstaking work. Where carelessness, vacuum and radiation can kill just like aliens with blasters.
Serenity - medium sized private ship
The crew : 15 crew members, 36 passengers
grade : Svetlyachki mediumMass transport ship
Armament : there is no
engine : standard radio accelerator
from : Svetlyachok
Serenity is an ordinary medium-sized cargo ship. Several decks, bridge, hold, engineering department. Of the payload - two remotely controlled "mules" and a magnetic lock.
A somewhat rough shape with a characteristic "beak" is needed for carrying cargo and docking with auxiliary shuttles.
Two Blue Suns compression engines enable vertical takeoff and landing. The maximum flight range is 400 astronomical units. The maximum carrying weight is 74 tons.
At first glance, these dry characteristics are not unusual.
But the essence lies in the details.
Serenity is one of the most elaborate and detailed private frigates in the galaxy. A diverse crew, with unusual histories and beliefs, gradually gathered on board, and each brought a bit of individuality. Take a look at these fan-made cuts of the ship - you can look at them endlessly.
Serenity is also about freedom. The opportunity to fly about your business, wherever your eyes look, in the company of interesting satellites. And while the series is stingy with technical details, it was precisely this kind of individuality that many ships lacked.
Similar ships
There are a lot of ships similar in description to Serenity. Of course, you need to remember about " Millennium Falcon ", an old favorite wreck, on which you can easily cut the Kessel arc in 12 parsecs. With its iconic indestructible anti-aircraft gun, characteristic engine and holographic chess. And together with the "Falcon" we will also mention Ebon Hawk , for someone no less personal ship.
On the other hand, for many it may be closer to SSV Normandy , both of its variants. Bioware has done a good job of modernizing the stereotype of a medium-sized personal ship - the Normandy feels both quite mundane and self-contained.
Multiple decks, shields, airborne railgun, rover, levitating tank or shuttle to choose from. On the Normandy, you can visit everything - from the bridge and cockpit, to the dining room, medical unit and engineering department.
It also has relatively modern technologies, such as quantum communication. But of course, you will remember the Normandie as much as you become attached to its crew. That is, most likely for a long time.
If you've ever heard of the adventures of Spike Spiegel and his team of bounty hunters, you'll also know about his ship, Cowboy Bebop . To call it a classic adventurer's ship is out of the question - "Bebop" is the element, jazz, freedom and "blues of real men."
It may well be that you like its more modern "version" - the beautiful ship " Milano " under the leadership of the Star Prince.
Or Star Knight, whatever.
And for someone, despite all the postmodernism and irony, the ship " of the Interplanetary Express " and its passengers from "Futurama" have become truly native. After all, any captain knows - the main thing is the crew. For a space traveler, he can become a real family.
"Axiom" - a ship of generations for thousands of people
Crew : unknown
Class : generation ship
Armament : energy weapons
Engine : unknown
Origin : Wall050
"Axiom" is the salvation of mankind. The last island after the destroyed Earth, where you can live. And life seems to be pretty good.
Although Wall-E seems like a children's cartoon, many other works of science fiction should learn from it. The main problem is very serious - not only did humanity destroy the Earth, it does not want to be responsible for anything, leaving all the work to robots.
The AI, represented by the on-board assistant AUTO, has been doing all the work on the ship for several centuries.
Cleans, cooks and makes sure that people live comfortably.
To do this, he has an army of responsible droids - some serve people, the second repair the ship, the third deal with service systems, and the fourth study the surroundings. The ship also has a system of hydroponics, waste processing, water filtration.
If you cut out the satire, you get a very interesting concept of a self-sustaining ecosystem where humanity can hide and wait out the catastrophe.
Another purpose of such a ship is to survive a journey to another habitable system if it takes several decades.
Similar ships

Avalon
You can also mention the ships from the Homeworld series, which were the last refuge of the people whose planet was destroyed.
In Mass Effect Andromeda, arks carried colonists to another galaxy for 600 years.
Mother ship in combat
But the closest to the ships of generations in meaning and spirit is battle cruiser "Galaktika" from the series of the same name. The last stronghold of humanity, where refugees who survived the atomic holocaust hid. And let their situation look desperate, in fact, the Galaxy cruiser is a symbol of endurance and unbroken will.
Galaxy
Let the stories of most ships of generations with an admixture of sadness, I wonder if they can someday become a real, permanent home for earthlings.

Engine : Dematerializer
From : Doctor Who
The Tardis is a living transcendent time ship. She has several systems of stealth and protection, and her inner dimension is larger than her outer dimension by a whole infinity.
The Tardis travels primarily by dematerializing 'here' and materializing 'there'. It draws energy from the core of an artificial black hole and several additional sources.
Tardis center console, changing to Doctor
In space, she travels like a normal spacecraft, but if her relativistic differentiator fails, she can only travel through time, not space.
Also, the Tardis is conscious, and probably breaks on purpose. She once told the Eleventh Doctor that maybe she didn't always get him where he wanted, but always where he needed to be.
