Park My Spaceship lets you measure sci-fi ships against real landmarks

The Death Star is for scale.

Park My Spaceship is an image.

Park My Spaceship is a simple app I didn't know I needed. You can use it to superimpose to-scale images of notable spaceships from sci-fi shows and movies. That is it. It is great. If the Millennium Falcon lands in your park, you can check to see if it would fit in your backyard. It has been around for a while, but I first came across it this week when a man shared his discoveries on social media.

I decided to place ships around the Seattle area and found that the Millennium Falcon would look great in the fountain plaza in front of the Space Needle. Harbor Island is a tiny landmass made entirely of dirt removed from early regrading projects dumped into the bay. A guy named Charles Butler and his 300 chickens used to live there.

Press play to fly your spaceship across the map. The only way to cross the West Seattle bridge at the moment is with an X-Wing.

The Death Star is on a different scale. It is larger than both Seattle and Tacoma, but it is just about the same size as the Olympic peninsula. That is not a moon.

Santa is at the airport.

There are ships from Star Trek, Mass Effect, Hitchhiker's Guide to the GALAXY, and many other classics of the genre. Santa's sleigh is the most beloved of all theUFOs. I positioned Santa on the runway at Seatac as the screen filled with drifting snow. I hope he made it back to the North Pole.
