Suggestion: present a clear definition of what you consider a "space vehicle", and then research all qualifying vehicles from all nations in order to make a comprehensive poll. Right now this poll would be better titled "Which space shuttle has your favorite name? Oh, I guess Saturn V is also a cool name. And I'll add the only Russian craft I know as a token, and also this thing I found linked in the Saturn V article."

This may sound like harsh judgement, but keep this in mind: if you are going to ask space enthusiasts about their favorite spaceship, you're going to get a heated, emotional discussion. If you want to do something like this in front of this audience, you must appear completely unbiased, and you must present enough options to satisfy everyone. This poll is far away from either proposition. As a result, it will go one of two ways: either it'll be largely ignored because most people sense the easily flammable material it is made of; or it will catch fire and end in an argument which may or may not get locked, but definitely will not result in a useful picture of public opinion.

Here's some suggestions for a better poll:

Favorite Space Launchers

Space Shuttle

Saturn V

Soyuz lifter vehicle (NOT THE SPACECRAFT)

N1

Proton

I picked these choices as 1. most of them are already in the above poll and 2. these are the most commonly known launchers.

-Why has every shuttle its own line?¨

-Where are other spacecrafts? Shenzhou, Salyut, Vostok, Voschod, ISS, Mercury, Apolo, Gemini, skylab, MIR?

Why you bother doing something if you cant do it right?
