Voyager 1. And if you think it's a spacecraft and not a spaceship, remember it carries a distillation of all human thought and experience. I'll shed a tear when it signs off.

My favorite ship is the Space Shuttle Enterprise. It brought so many dreams to life in 1977. Then I got to actually see the original in NY a few years back. I am also a fan of the Star Ship Enterprise - NCC-1701

Saturn V. I liked Titusville Florida in the sixties and when they launched the Ground shook the windows rattled and each one was spectacular

The Saturn V is my all time favorite. It was designed to head to Mars with the power it held. I get the chills every time i watch it lift off!

My fav would have to be the Saturn V. All that raw power - millions of gallons of differenot fuels. And it was the only way to send men to the moon! Plus it never failed! What a rocket! would loved to have been there to see a launch!

Saturn V is my all time favourite ship. It was huge at 363ft tall. All that power needed to send a relatively small ship to the moon with men on board! It must have been some experience to see a launch. I would have loved to see Apollo 17 launch as it was the only night launch. Plus it has a few teething problems but it never failed to launch successfully! Incredible

From fiction, I'd have to say the USSS Richard M Nixon from the book Saturn Run because the technology was really cool and I loved how the authors actually tried to make it feasible. As for real ships, I don't know if I could picl just one because so many made such large impacts technologically and in how they improved our scientific discoveries.

My favorite real spaceship is the Lunar Excursion Module "Eagle" from Apollo 11.
My favorite fictional spaceship is also named "Eagle"- The "Eagle" from the TV series SPACE:1999. Both are utilitarian workhorses that made me dream as a kid about someday becoming a space traveler myself.

Real: modern era - SpaceX/Elon Musk's dream "Starship" for the possibilities and the guts to dream big!
And to the Saturn V team for making many of us kids back then dream big!
Fiction : Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy's "Heart of Gold" for letting us laugh across the universe!

 

[SpaceDreamer]

What about the Valley Forge from the movie, Silent Running? In all these years, I've never forgotten that ship or movie! Of course, when Star Wars first came out, I'm not ashamed to say I went back and saw the movie 13 times!

The "XL5", you have to be above 50 to know what this is...

Ah, yes, another of my favorites, in spite of the marionettes!
