My challenge to you is: Similar to the super-team challenge, assemble a starship and crew from your various space-based fandoms. However, you can only use each fandom once (but given how few space based TV shows, you can count different shows or movies set in the same universe as different fandoms, so long as they don't share a large number of main characters). You can also use books, if you so desire. For comics, Marvel Universe as a whole counts as one fandom, DC Universe as another, and other comic universes as separate ones, but the characters should have some space connection.
Choose:
1) Your Ship: Choose any space ship you want, but it should be big enough to hold your crew, and choice of ship might influence what members of your crew you need (if your ship has no weapons, a weapons officer isn't needed, and if your ship needs someone with telepathic powers to fly it, you should have one of those). Characters who are directly integrated into the ship itself (an onboard AI, or physically attached like Pilot in Farscape) are included, but nobody who could have a destiny separate from the ship.
2) Your Crew:
Each member of your crew must also come from a different fandom (however, you can use the same _character_ in more than one role, it's your crew. You can also use multiple people sharing the same role, so long as each individual on your crew comes from a different fandom).
Exactly what roles you need to fill is up to you, but here are some suggestions:
a) The Captain
b) First Officer
c) Pilot(s)
d) The Tactical/Weapons Officer
e) The Doctor
f) The Science Officer
g) The Alien (the one whose role in the story is to reflect and comment on humanity from an outside perspective. This could be an actual alien, a robot, or some kind of particularly odd human)
h) The Everyman
i) Soldier-type(s) for planetary missions and in-ship fighting
Every member of your crew should, in their existing fandoms, have had some experience on a spaceship of some kind. But this is an internet game and people will break rules all the time.
3) Your Mission: The mission statement for your crew should doesn't have to come from a SF fandom, but you should have one that makes sense for your characters and your ship.
4) (Optional) Any explanations for how and why they got together.
Now that I think of it, I have a surprisingly small number of fandoms involving spaceships.
