I've long felt that the best inspiration for space ship designs can be found in the ocean's depths.

This rarely-seen glass octopus was caught on camera. The clear sea creature was filmed by an underwater robot during an expedition off of the Phoenix Islands, more than 3,200 miles northeast of Sydney, Australia.

I was going to say Babylon 5, then saw this tweet. I loved the designed of their spaceships, and aliens. They were different to anything on TV at the time, and I don't think we've seen similar designs since.

LOVE Vorlon and Shadow ships. Also, speaking of sea creatures, Minbari ships are all enormous tropical fish

I was going to say that it looks a lot like an Ancient Drone.

And Star Trek had Jellyfish. And as I remember, the Wraith ships were somehow organic.

The #Babylon5 ships are elegant and beautifully reflect the culture they represent. The best ships in sci-fi.
