Life Aboard... The Millennium Falcon | Spaceship Breakdown

Описание: In every space opera, every space adventure, every Western in the stars, you can guarantee that somewhere in the cast will be a rogue - a smuggler, a pirate - sat behind the wheel of their very own space ship. Often it will be falling apart, often it will have some hidden depths that make it worthy of being a hero ship.

And at the core of this thoroughly milked genre trope is the Millennium Falcon - a hulking bucket of rust and bolts that inspired a thousand and one other ships. Since the 1970s, there hasn’t been a single generation of kids that hasn’t been awed by the kitbashed squashed burger - and you’ll be hard pressed to find a fan of science fiction who wouldn’t gladly sell their kidneys to ride alongside their favourite dog in the Falcon.

But beyond the hype, beyond the nostalgia - what would it be like to live aboard the ship that completed the Kessel Run in 14 parsecs?
