Seems like all it needs is a z-51 badge photoshopped on it.

Wouldn't it be cheaper to just build a new one? :dunno:

Brother by a different mother...but both were fathered by Kirks semen, extracted in the future.

:iagree: It never was much more than a static box w/ a few details added.

From the link:

The final design of the Shuttlecraft shows a sleek craft that does not allow occupants the headroom to stand up fully (unless you’re under 5-1/2 feet tall). This was intentional as the shuttle was intended to be a compact vehicle, kind of like a mini-van. However, for “The Galileo Seven” episode, it was elected to build (also by AMT) a stand-up interior for best dramatic effect. The rear compartment is larger and even included a magical second hatch not seen on the exterior!
Compare these screencaps with Leonard Nimoy (6’-1”) inside the interior shuttle set, and Mark Lenard (6’) outside the door of the mock-up.

If they sealed the lower half of the hatch and put engines in the nacelles they could make a cool boat. :leaving:

If they sealed the lower half of the hatch and put rocket engines in the nacelles they could make a real shuttle and save Nasa some serious money :leaving:
