Here's a site for those interested. You can move your favorite spaceships, including real spaceships, around to compare them with other genres.

I've never been a Capital ship fan, I tend to like the fighters and shuttles/freighters. Probably why I liked Firefly so much. The ship has character, plain and simple.
Serenity is on there. It's fun to put the Falcon next to her (although I think the sizes for the Falcon seem too small)

Of course trust me to miss some. Also bringing people to space were the Vostok, Voskhod, and Voskhod-2. With a Vostok being the vehicle for the first manned space flight. Go Yuri.
Anyway that plus the shuttle and the X-15 piloted by Yeager should account for everything that's taken a human type person into space while still alive.
Edit: plus SpaceShipOne. Gah is my mind scattered or what? Don't answer that.

I personally can't stand the BattleStar Galatica, but I also forgot to mention the Promethius, I love the lost city 2 parter where it fights Anubis' fleet
Oh and I can't stand the Goa'uld mothership also, sorry but a pyramid inside a star does not make a ship in my mind : )

I'm surprised no one has mentioned the Nostromo from Alien. I've always been partial to the more realistic approach.

Either Red Dwarf from.... um... Red Dwarf, The Millenium Falcon from Star Wars (duh), The Heart of Gold from Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, or Moya from Farscape.
Please don't make me choose.

Hands down for me, it's the TARDIS. Infinitely big, indestructable, and no one can shoot you in there.
That being said, I will utter what could be utter heresy and mention an Alliance Cruiser, just becuase it is so damn unique in design. Joss really broke from the norm with his design of the big cruisers, and you see so little of them, they are really fascinating to see.
Of course, everyone inside of them sucks, I just think the concept of a floating city to be pretty cool.
