When it becomes possible what popular scifi space ship should we build first??

The ONLY reason rockets and capsules are designed the way they are is purely because its cost prohibitive to get a whole like of material in space..as it stands it costs a minimum of 10,000 dollars just to get a pound of anything to space.

You may think "what about the ISS" its big and uses alot of material..sure but that took over a decade to built and the designs of the structures are basically interlocking pods, tubes and blocks. Very basic and minimalist design.

But a company in Canada just put in for a patent on a type of space elevator that IF they can get it to work should make launching material much cheaper. To the tune of 100s of dollars or less.

that being said..WHICH FICTIONAL SPACE SHIP SHOULD BE BUILT FIRST:

though my heart goes with the Enterprise, the Galactica makes MUCH more sense... it can carry a variety of people in so many cross-sections of humanity... I'll go Galactica... it's maneuverable and has hella firepower...
 
Didn't a NASA physicist already design a warp traveling ship based on the Enterprise?
 
While my favorite is the Falcon, it makes more sense for humanity to do something similar in specs and function to the Enterprise.


EDIT: Galactica is close too.

fire power for what? at this stage the best were going is inter-solar system travel...and theres nothing out there.
 
Either an X-Wing or the Milano from Guardians of the Galaxy ;)

If it were ever possible, enterprise. I doubt anything like that is ever built tho.

for defense capabilities against any sort of threat, whether it be from random meteors, asteroids and the like or whatever else that might POSSIBLY be out there somewhere... better to be safe than sorry... just because we don't see anyone else out there,doesn't mean that there ISN'T someone else out there... POSSIBLY...
 
If you could build any of them, has to be a Battlestar or a Star Destroyer just based on capabilities alone.

U.S.S. Enterprise because it looks cool! :ilv:
