	No Babylon 5?

	ZapRowsdower:	Aug 21st, 2010 at 14:14 GMT	14 points
	You should accept Mega Maid as an alternate answer for Spaceball One.

	Great suggestion, ZapRowsdower! The Druidians will be none to happy with you. It was a tough decision, sfrano08, to leave out Babylon 5, but there were a ton of potential TV shows and movies. Since Babylon 5 (and Deep Space 9) centered on space stations I stayed away from them to avoid confusion.

	I say the TARDIS should be on here. Primary function is a time and space machine, but it can fly through space like the rest! ;)

	Only 2.2% got the Rodger Young? I thought Heinlein was more popular than that.

	@DanRoc- Wonkavator isn't the answer. In fact, I don't believe the term "Wonkavator" was used in the book at all- it was a creation of the movie. Anyway, the ship in question here is from the sequel, "Charlie and the Great Glass Elevator" in which the entire family (including all the grandparents) travel into space to the Space Hotel and then back to Earth again. Grandma Josephine is there to let you know that I'm referring to the book (it's in the literature section) and that I'm referring to the sequel.

	@jism- John Glenn was the first American to orbit the Earth, was a United States Senator for 25 years, is the oldest person ever to fly in space and is the only person to have flown in both the Mercury and Space Shuttle programs. Not sure how that qualifies as being a shame! My apologies to Alan Shepard, though- it was a tough call.

	What a wonderful idea for a quiz. Nice work, Hejman!

	tvfan2:	Aug 21st, 2010 at 15:34 GMT	1 point
	Could have done the White Star for Babylon 5 or the Defiant for DS9. For something newer you could have done the Destiny for Stargate Universe. Also, no TARDIS?u

	Only one N in "Juan Rico" (or two Ns in "Johnny").

	JimmyJames:	Aug 21st, 2010 at 15:54 GMT	5 points
	It's odd that three of the five real ships you chose are (in)famous for disasters- I understand you have to go with ones people would know, but surely there are others famous for successful missions like the Columbia & Eagle of Apollo 11, or the not-very-creatively-named SpaceShipOne.

	I saw leela and amy and thought TARDIS

	Hejman:	Aug 21st, 2010 at 16:15 GMT	2 points
	@JimmyJames- I didn't think I was focusing on disasters, I thought I was paying homage to the crews of Apollo 1 and the Challenger making the ultimate sacrifice in an effort to further human kind's quest for knowledge and understanding.

	JimmyJames:	Aug 21st, 2010 at 17:30 GMT	3 points
	Fair enough. I didn't mean any disrespect, or to imply that they didn't deserve to be on there, I just thought it was worth remarking on.

	JoeMurphy:	Aug 21st, 2010 at 17:42 GMT	10 points
	Amused that Apollo 13 could have more answers than Apollo 1... that's what you get for typing too well, folks. ;-)

	@amybang: But now you do, and isn't that more important than scoring some measly point in a trivia game?

	Hejman:	Aug 21st, 2010 at 17:52 GMT	2 points
	It was absolutely a legitimate observation jimmyjames, I was just trying to explain why I made those choices. I hope you enjoyed the quiz even with the accident-heavy real section. Even more importantly, I think you make a great observation that we've gotten so complacent about space travel that we take notice only when there's an accident.

	Great quiz. I could make two arguments that "Ringworld" should be an alternative to "Long Shot". One, it's an artificial world designed to be a VERY-long-distance space vessel (per "Ringworld Engineers"). Two, I nearly pulled my hair out trying (unsuccessfully) to remember the name of the damn ship they flew to it, so accepting it as an alternate would help slow my male pattern baldness.

	Serenity is obviously the best space ship.

	@CAV- Please see the comments above. That issue has already been addressed.

	James Bond wasn't really a crew member of the Moonraker, was he? On board, sure, but not really one of the ones operating it.

	John Glenn also flew on the Space Shuttle Discovery.
