Right. I bet he was picking up some LEDs for Jabba’s reef. Ironic that later when Han was frozen in carbon that Jabba used chucks of the block to carbon dose his tank.
I figured he'd use the carbon Han and put some zoas or encrusting monti on it and have it grow over that :p !!

My favorite sci-fi universe is Firefly/Serenity... but honestly, would you want to captain a point of sale like that?

Big ships, huge crews, everything done by committee... count me out. That eliminates star destroyers, big ST ships like Enterprise... if I were going to run a ship, it'd be a one man ship... maybe two. Long range, fast, maneuverable...

Perhaps an Aethersprite class interceptor with a hyperdrive docking ring?

Truth be told, I'd rather toss back a pint at the Green Dragon with Merry and Pippin than any of the space age stuff :)

I wonder what PAR level the Eye of Sauron emits? Could he grow SPS?

i would have to say the Defiant, but this was a tough choice! I also really like the Falcon, Serenity, Moya(from Farscape) and the ship from the show Dark Matter, but I can't remember the name right now. Gosh, are we all geeks or what?
The Raza.

You know, the Heart of Gold would be pretty sweet too... but not the one from the movie. Yuck.

Description in the book... looks like a tennis shoe. In the movie? Looks like a golf ball. I despised that movie... excepting perhaps Snape, doing the voice for Marvin the paranoid android :p

Or, Elon Musk's Tesla...

All night this Tesla in space has me thinking of the old Heavy Metal movie. The song has been in my head for hours. Clearly Musk was a fan.

Indecision may or may not be my problem.

I believe the title of the thread is aimed at Science Fiction, not Science Fact ;)
