Great choices! How could I forget The Nostromo!
Or for that matter, the awe inspiring sight of the alien spaceship in Alien.
[quote=”kai”]I prefer the ugly, functional ships in sci-fi because, lets face it:
THERE IS NO POINBT IN HAVING AERODYNAMICS IN SPACE!

True, but like the Promethius, many ships are built to have the ability to take off and land in an atmosphere.
[quote=”Corvina”]Moving off on a tangent…as a concept, the Ancient Egyptians solar boat – ‘The Boat Of Millions of Years’ – spring to mind (how could I forget!) I mean…4700 years ago these guys came up with as beautiful an idea as that …now that is sexy.[/quote]
And Ra said, “Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away with me.” How I’d love to sail the skies in that solar boat.
