Sigh.... Only.....



Yeah.

She's "only" about three times as long as my house.

Or would only stretch from the 50 yard line to about ten feet past one end zone, if she were to land on an American football field.

When you consider that a Nimitz class aircraft carrier is just over 332 meters long overall, 'Serenity' isn't exactly small.

But she's certainly small when measured against most of the other spaceships on that sheet.
