Sounds like she is using a little reverse psychology there.
Build it and they will come.
Still, wouldn't it be cool? My thought is that we'd then run it as a B&B. Guests could select the passenger dorms, the Kaylee suite, the Captain suite, the Jayne suite, the Washburn suite, or the top-priced Inara Shuttle Suite. Meals would be served in the kitchen. Internet access would be in the bridge, and laundry in the engine room. The cargo bay would contain a Firefly/Serenity museum and double as a space for panels, shindigs, and Bedlam Bards concerts. Weddings would be performed by a Ron Glass look-alike.
I can see it now . . .

Ah, well, if nothing else, I can get my blueprints from QMx and pore over them for hours, dreaming about how cool it would be and postponing work on my storage shed . . .

I have always felt that of all the different spaceship designs there have been on countless movies and tv shows, that Serenity is, hands-down, the coolest, most realistic, most practically liveable ship ever. It was awesome in the original series, but the way they took it to the nth degree for the movie was genius. It became a character in itself, as believable as any of the excellent performances by the actors.
I worked in sfx for a movie production company years ago (Midland), and I recall how amazed everyone was by Alien because the ship actually looked lived in. The Nostromo design was considered revolutionary at the time simply because it didn't look like painted drywall and commercial carpet. We spent a great deal of time and money trying to design sets and models that didn't look like sets and models.
Every iteration of the Enterprise, never mind all the Star Wars ships, for all the costly effort that went into them, still look too obviously like movie sets at times. Serenity never does. These blueprints are testament to that. Everything looks like it actually works the way it should.

Cedric - you should get someone to help you, and I bet a lot of people would donate money if you set up some sort of PayPal system. Like it's been said above, it's your moral imperative. Do it! Prove your wife wrong! We'll give you a statue like Jayne... you'll be a hero!
In all seriousness, though, someone should build a life-sized Serenity. Find a multi-millionaire or something... then, eventually, we could maybe do some more live-action Firefly stuff. The crew would be there in a heartbeat, I bet.

Storage shed . . .
You mean Cargo Bay right. On Miranda, the crew walk by the outside of the Cargo Bay. The outside of your shed could look like that.
QMX is down to the last 300 or so now.
Going. Going.

As Bill Pardy would say "Yep".
I hadn't thought of weddings and Bed and Breakfasts Serenity before. I thought Universal could make the movie set at Universal Studios and sell tour tickets in between filming episodes for the SciFi Channel. But they could also hold weddings. Big Money in weddings now a days.
People could even redo they wedding vows dressed as Mal and Inara. Simon and Kaylee.
This could actually happen some day. They have hotels made of ice and underwater hotels.
I've got my set of blueprints ordered just in case I win the lottery one day.

Do you read minds? I swear this is almost exactly what's been rumbling in my head for quite a while now. Of course, it all banks on me winning the lottery, so...
