I have an issue with the nacelles on the Phoenix being inline with the hull. According to ST lore, the nacelles have to have line of sight with each because of an energy discharge between the nacelles. Cochrane was lucky the ship didn't explode when warp was engaged. Of course it could be that the energy discharge was so minor at warp 1 that it didn't matter or it arched over the ship.

@kerryedavis Жыл бұрын
@@concious2 In the past, and including in Star Trek: The Motion Picture, engaging warp within the solar system was considered risky enough that they only did it in order to get to V'Ger as quickly as they could. But assuming it was done anyway, if warp 1 is 1x the speed of light, and Mars is between 36 and 50 million miles from Earth, and ignoring the need to go around the Sun when Mars is at maximum distance, at warp 1 it would take between about 3 and 5 minutes. Which seems fast. BUT. Interstellar distances are Something Else. At 1x the speed of light, going from Earth to the NEAREST other star, Alpha Centauri, would take FOUR YEARS. Even at what should be Warp 5 or 6, it takes about 2 weeks. So much for NX-01 getting to Kronos in 4 days!

The (REAL) Space Shuttle Enterprise was used to do the landing tests, but was originally planned to be used as part of the orbiter fleet. The problem was that in the short span of ten years the second shuttle was over twice as advanced especially with the panel instruments, and computers. It was more cost effective to build the new shuttles than to retro fit Enterprise. She was one of the biggest things that taught them how to make the rest though.

I’m gonna assume he’s joking about the XCV-330 Enterprise when he says it’s silly knowing that an Alcubierre Drive would use rings as part of its design to warp the fabric of Spacetime IRL, thus making it the most realistic warp design in Star Trek. Let’s not forget the XCV-330 was always very popular among fans and was almost used as the design for the heroship of the never produced Roddenberry series “Starship.” Starship would later go on to be made, with several changes to the idea, as Andromeda, the Andromeda Ascendant btw still uses a bit of a hooped ring design in its look.

The "Ring Ship" design goes back to at least 1974, as I picked up a lithograph of it during Gene Roddenberry's traveling road show stop in Madison, Wisconsin that year. My understanding is that Matt Jefferies created it for an aborted Roddenberry pilot called simply "Starship." As for as its class, it's widely known as a "Declaration-class" early warp ship.

This is awesome. I think I will use this in my Spelljammer/Star Trek hybrid campaign I am writing for my Dnd 5e group. My reasoning will be that Starfleet revives the Declaration class as a Legacy type of program. It will be a modern ship design, but with a 'shifting' Impulse/Warp Ring design. Similar to a jellyfish, the ring system will undulate, based on which propulsion unit is being employed at the moment. When Impulse is being used, that ring will flare out, but when Warp is used, the Impulse Ring folds in, and the Warp Ring flares out, and so on.

Good history documentary - But your Voice does sound familiar - Did you work at Hanna-Barbera Productions as a Voice Over for the Characters? Sure sounds like you must of work for either Yogi Bear or the Jetsons.. Otherwise very good history of the Early Federation Ships, But you did not mention How the S.S. Valiant got it's History as it was part of the era of Early Enterprise History... Bozeman Theme Park??? Take a ride on the Phoenix???

i was driving across golden gate bridge when the shuttle was being retired and on a final tour. going about 45-50 mph looking to right and seeing 747 and shuttle float by was weird, seemed like was going very slow, very trek ship like. too bad i wasnt expecting to see it didnt have camera out

you're showing the J. J. Abrams the Kelvin Timeline is not Canon to the original Star Trek timeline so any ship from the Kelvin timeline is not Canon. because it was J. J. Abrams vision of Star Trek not from the original writerGene Roddenberry if he was still alive he could take JJ Abrams to court for copyright. the only Canon ships in Star Trek is from the original TV series up to Voyager

The XCV ship is based on the Alcubbiere warp drive concept that is very much a real life concept designed by physicist Miguel Alcubbiere.
@AllenUry2 жыл бұрын
Just the opposite, in fact, as Alcubbiere did not propose his warp drive until 1994, whereas the XCV design goes back to at least 1974 and Roddenberry's aborted pilot for a series called "Starship."

Funny too how the capsule of the Phoenix looks a lot like the SpaceX Dragon crew capsule, except the Dragon flight deck and control panel is a much cleaner more sophisticated looking touchscreen system and way more comfortable seats! Another thing about Star Trek that always bothered me was the cheap office furniture look of all the seats especially the pilots seats on shuttles etc with the series lack of head supports to prevent whiplash!!! STTNG con chairs were the only seats that ever looked like a sort of flight high G seating, nuts!!

USS Franklin (NX-326), from the 2009 film, predates the arrival of the Narada, thus is is still canon for the prime universe. As "the first Warp 4 ship", it clearly predates the NX Warp 5 program that spawned NX-01 Enterprise.
@ravendagrey10 ай бұрын
I was thinking the same, Timeline-wise it would be between the "Delta warp 3 ships" and the NX-01. It was recommissioned and upgraded during the Romulan war as the Federation needed any ship they could get their hands on.

My all time favorite Enterprise was the A. I watched the first 6 Star Trek movies over and over as a kid I nearly wore out the tapes. The E was my second favorite, but after watching and re watching Enterprise I think the NX is now my second favorite. It's just a solid looking ship that feels very practical for the time and clearly reflects design decisions that would be used in future Star Fleet ships.

Having just finished reading "Wingless Flight" by R. Dale Reed, I can tell you that the OV-165 is a direct copy of the X-33, a 67-foot-long NASA/Lockheed Martin prototype model of the proposed 127-foot VentureStar. The Warp Delta ship looks like the X-24A, an early lifting-body research craft, with added propulsion pods.

Intense heat on reentry only happens because of speed. With the aerospike engines not requiring a large amount of fuel they should have figure that out by then. The only reason they need deflector shielding right now is because they don't have the tech for an engine to slow the craft down on reentry without large amounts of fuel onboard.

Can't find a link, but I first saw the rocket sled idea shown in When Worlds Collide, and I thought it was really neat. The technology has found its way into the High Frontier 4 All board game, which is a very thematic simulation type boardgame about the next 50 years of space development.
