A sweet Japanese battleship, the Yamato. This thing was one of the biggest battleships ever (the other is its sister ship, the Musashi) with 18.1 inch guns. :D

For sci-fi, I quite like the Swordfish from Cowboy Bebop.

Science alone of all the subjects contains within itself the lesson of the danger of belief in the infallibility of the greatest teachers in the preceding generation . . .Learn from science that you must doubt the experts. As a matter of fact, I can also define science another way: Science is the belief in the ignorance of experts. - Richard Feynman

The Prometheus is alright, but the Asgard mothership is just... serene, you gotta admit. :D



Not to mention the O'neill!



Ahhh, I love Stargate. The season 6 finale and season 7 premiere just aired last night... damn. :yes:

My favourite plane has to be the B-1B 'Bone'.  Possibly one of the world's most deadly aircraft, if loaded correctly.

After all, it is capable of carrying air-to-air missiles... it just doesn't normally.

Bone is the colloquial, Lancer is the official designation. :)

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Meh, I have a B2 fly over my house at low speed/low altitude every year.  Impressive in what they are, but not too much to look at.  I also like in a corridor used for flight training excercises, so I see all kinds of helicopters and planes flying around all the time.  I guess that makes me sort of unimpressed by the "I've seen..." response.

Oh, and the Sulako rocks :nod:

well, there's as much to see as with any other planes. and yeah, I'm in an international military corridor too, so I get to see lots of planes and helos. Not that I stay at my windows all day long in hope I'll see some tiny black shape going by very fast :p
