Good video, fun channel. But it unearthed a memory in me: does anyone else remember a website, probably from a while back, that let you superimpose various sci-fi ships over Google Maps? I swear this was a thing, and it was great for getting a sense of scale of these ships.

What other visual aids for ship scale have you come across?

It's like a giant flying hotel in my mind. I love how much focus there was in TNG on all the living quarters and families on the ship, because it emphasizes the fact that they're on a mission of exploration, not war.
