Heart of Gold. Tardis is not really a spaceship, it's a time machine. Unless you want to change the definition of spaceship.

Of course the Tardis is a space ship, probably has more space than any other. :confused:

Helps if you don't drive around with the parking break on I imagine.:p

Doug Adams even worked on Dr Who of course, the Heart of Gold you could get mixed results on where you end up.

There is only one ship the fastest. The event horizon. It is a space folding ship.
It has some slight side effects...

And i am upset it is not on the list above.
Because that is the ion drive and not the gravity drive.
It's on the list under "Relativistic Ships"

What about those ships in the Dune movie/book? They can bend space.

That blows any other "speed" technology out of the water.
I wondered that too.

I would think Borg's transwarp drive is muhc faster than that even if we don't count the nexus hub

Star Trek the next generation, season 4 episode 19...
Is also interesting when Barclay gains an IQ of several thousand and learns how to create subspace distortions to let the USS enterprise travel 30.000 light years in about 30 seconds.
