No brainer, Serenity. It's home and comes complete with the best sleeping accomodations, galley and table in the 'verse (not to mention Mal, Wash, Jayne and Simon and then there's Zoe, Inara and Keylee to have some very interesting girl talk with).

More to the point, the Jupiter 2 while a cool ship would look good FLYING OUT OF CARDINAL STADIUM. :-)

Sorry , Jupiter 2...
As long as there's been a Falcon , I've wanted to build it , and live aboard...Even did a lot of study , and design work...
Having said that , Serenity is far more practical for shelter...
The Falcon presents some design challenges , due to the limited 'thickness' available , but I've solved most of the 'issues'...
But , Serenity would be a better 'fit' for practical living...If someone wanted the cozy feel of being aboard the Falcon , then they could just hole up in Inara's shuttle...
The big wins for Serenity are the galley , plus the other 'living' areas...It's just much 'homier'...Like someone raided the garage sale at Mike and Carol Brady's house...
I call that a 'win'...
But , if you'd asked which would be more fun to fly , advantage goes to Halcon Millenario...
No replacement for jumping to hyperspace...

The Eagle from Space 1999 has shown up in two series. One being Space 1999 and the other being Red Dwarf, but with that said I would like to throw Star Bug into the ring. It every feature anyone has mentioned about any of the other ships discussed here and can time travel to boot. Or how about Red Dwarf? Is that too big for this discussion?

"Dooohhh!"
Han went through the asteroid field and cut closer to the Maw than anyone had ever done before (closer, in fact, than anyone thought was possible).

I would pick serenity, however someone else mentioned the tardis, and if that option was put on the table I would definitely have to choose it.

Serenity has one distinct advantage: Toilets.
I dun recall seein' a single head on any of the other ships mentioned. Ever.
Could make those long trips a mite uncomfortable, especially with a Wookiee aboard.

I don't actually remembering ever seeing a bathroom on Space Bug, but I do remember a discussion between Kristy and either Kryten or Dave about having to take showers and not being able to take a bath. I also remember seeing washing machines on Star Bug so I think it would be reasonable to believe there were bathrooms on Space Bug.

I'll take the Valley Forge from "Silent Running".
Sorry, but I gots to have my trees and animals. And it's proven to be capable of being run by one person and some 'droids.

If the prefix "pro-" means "for" or "in favor of", and "con" is its opposite, and if "progress" means "pushing forward" or "improving"... then what the hell does "Congress" mean?

Isn't that "Eagle" awfully close to the "Moon Bus" from 2001? I'm not sure, but I remember my brother having a model of the Moon Bus, and it sure looks pretty familiar.
