You’ve stress-tested reentry trajectories. You’ve argued about LOX-to-methane ratios at 11 p.m. You’ve sat through 47 slides on orbital mechanics before 10 a.m.

Now it’s time for the debate that actually matters: Which sci-fi spaceship is the greatest ever put to screen?

Is the Millennium Falcon’s parsec gaffe a dealbreaker, or does she have it where it counts? Does the Enterprise – any of them – hold a candle to the Rocinante’s brutally realistic thrust gravity? Could Serenity outrun a Borg Cube on a good day? Would the Nostromo crew have survived with a better EVA protocol? And what, precisely, is the TARDIS’s mass budget?

Voting has closed! But stop by the Redwire booth #1373 at Space Symposium on Wednesday, April 15 at 3:30 p.m. MT when a distinguished panel of industry experts will assess the results and defend their positions under open questioning
