Please tell me the name of the spacecraft you are traveling in when you sign up for this challenge. Here's a list of fictional spacecraft to help you.

Example: I'm in and I'll be traveling in USS Enterprise.
(If my husband was playing along, he'd be on the Serenity :)

I’m in! I’ll be traveling in the Normandy SR-2. (Though if you want to shorten it to just the Normandy- that’s fine too.)

Super excited for this! Great job Lanelle!

I'm in, and I'll be travelling in the Glennys Jones

Normandy SR-2 is not too long. It's all yours :)

Thanks. I'm super excited to try this new style (for me, anyway) of a reading challenge. Since this is my first time, this is a short one. My next ones will be longer and more involved.

Welcome, Paulette.

Sounds like fun. I'll be traveling in the Deucalion.

I love these type of challenges! I'll be traveling in the Nightflyer

I'm glad you're joining us, Barbara.

Laila Jane wrote: "I love these type of challenges!"

Me, too!

Definitely can't resist this one. I'll be travelling in the Phoenix.

This is awesome! If possible I'd travel in the TARDIS.

This sounds so fun - I'm in! I'll do your husband proud and travel on Serenity.

Denise, the Phoenix is an awesome choice for space flight. I'm jealous :)

Joanna, I was hoping someone would pick the TARDIS as their method of travel!

Sarah, if you come across anyone by the name of Rick dressed up as Jayne Cobb, that's my husband :)

I would like to play, and as my first few choices have already been claimed, unless you have a suggestion for another Firefly class ship, I will go with the "Annabelle" because I would feel strange grabbing the Millennium Falcon or U.S.S. Enterprise.

Welcome, Alison. If you were comfortable going on the USS Enterprise, would it be with Capt. Kirk or Capt. Picard?

I'm game. I'll be travelling in Colonial Viper.

I would pick Picard, because William just over acted too much for me to handle as an adult. However, I would love to have Leonard, as Spock, join me. lol!
;-)

Oh wait, I would also take Bakula as Capt Archer. But mainly becuase I had a crush on him from back in Quantum Leap days.

I had to look that one up :) Welcome, LittleRed.

Alison, we should create the USS Enterprise dream team!

Lanelle wrote: "Alison, we should create the USS Enterprise dream team!"

That could create a bit of strife, but I am game.
:-D

I'm in and I'll be traveling in the Red Dwarf. This looks like great fun!

sign me I be traveling in the explorer

I’ll travel on the personal spacecraft Betty.

Erica, Marythios, and Vicki, welcome to the challenge!

Thanks, Lanelle.

Vicki wrote: "Thanks, Lanelle."

You're in for a fun ride on the Betty!

Vicki wrote: "I’ll travel on the personal spacecraft Betty."

The Betty huh lol

Sue, you of all people should have guessed I’d choose the Betty! 😂

I'm in and I'll be traveling in the Heart of Gold.

I have yet to read the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy series, Elle. Maybe I'll get around it this next year.

Hope you do. I recommend listening to it read by Stephen Fry. I found the book hilarious in no small part because of his delightful narration.

I checked my library's Overdrive. There's an eleven week wait for nine copies of Fry's narration :(

This seems fun! I'd like to travel in The Bebop!

I had to smile when I saw the name of your spaceship, Cara. You have to admit it doesn't give off a scientific vibe :) But the music you'll be listening to while you travel will be awesome!

I would like to try this challenge and want to travel with you all. Thanks.

Welcome to the challenge, Viji. I'm going to put you in Han Solo's Millennium Falcon.

I'm in, I'll be travelling in the Hypatia , the science vessel from the Illuminae Saga

Welcome, Paula. Good and safe travels.
