Starship Enterprise will be restored to its 1967 glory: Smithsonian to rebuild 11ft model used in original Star Trek TV show
It has been 50 years since the original model of the Starship Enterprise made its final imaginary voyage.
Today, the 11ft-long model lies in pieces at the Smithsonian Museum in Virginia with a damaged secondary hull and nacelles.
Trekkies the world over have been urging model makers to save this iconic ship.
Now the Smithsonian says it will attempt to do just that, but restoring it to its appearance in 1967, during the filming of the episode 'The Trouble with Tribbles'.

I fail to see how this helps Muslim Outreach.

There were no muslims I can recall in the original star trek series, unless Khan has pakistani muslim roots.
To: ClearCase_guy
I thought the Smithsonian was all about real things, not poorly acted science fiction. Definitely not logical.

Somebody wasted entirely too much glue on that interior seam. Scotty is going to pitch a fit!

Actually, much of the very real technology you use on a daily basis today was inspired by Star Trek. (The History Channel did a wonderful special about it last year.)

I always wondered what kind of jobs “adult children” could find if their parents died or evicted them from the basement.

Khan was a Sikh, explicitly mentioned in TOS. What that pasty-faced White boy in Abrams’ abortion was, who knows ?
