Thanks for the labor of love in restoring this futuristic artifact! I think it's much better at a space museum than a sci-fi museum; it shows how science fiction can literally turn into reality or influence future development.

This should travel to NJ once in a while on exhibit as it was restored in NJ. I'd love to see it.

My friend was part of the group that owned this gem when it was in Ohio. I'll never forget the day he surprised me by taking me to it (in secrecy) where he was trying to restore it. I climbed aboard and got to sit inside it. Totally riveting exciting experience.....

Well, three responses: First, this "management consultant" is the one who bid on this thing and is taking the time, effort and expense to preserve it, when no-one else did. Second, it was originally Built in a car body shop by a car body specialist! So it's entirely appropriate that it should be built there. Finally, the paint had faded and almost all peeled of; there was no preserving it. I'm amazed they saved as much of it as they did.

Then it is a copy, now it is a restored original, makes it more valuable, and nostalgic.

I think it's great! just a couple years ago I heard that it had been disposed of completely and I had thought the matter was closed. I think that if and when it can be transported without damage, why not take it on tour when finished..then let a museum take it for a while. once fixed, collectors will start taking interest.

I saw this in a hanger at the Akron Canton Airport (Ohio) back in the 80's The story as I remember was that s doctor had bought it for his kid, they lived in Vegas. And it sat outside in their yard. Where is was purchased and then shipped to the AC Airport. They had started to restore it but ran out of money.

Star Wars never had the intellectual reach that Star Trek did....Also, Star Wars never made any effort to explain its science and tech, the way that Star Trek did.

Will she have the electronics and sound effects???
@Jshaw7111 жыл бұрын
The sound effects are added in post production cycle, after filming is complete, and there are no eletronics, it's a hollow shell, expcept for controls and some other things for show, and the actors to interact with there is no tech on the inside of most props...

Why not put it at the Smithsonian Air and Space Museum where the original 11 foot long model of the Enterprise resides?
@genebeard14494 жыл бұрын
The Enterprise is currently off display (3/3/2020) due to renovation of the museum. The Galileo is no longer at the Johnson Space Center and they won't tell anyone where it is now.
@Durwood713 жыл бұрын
The Smithsonian wouldn't want this. The idiots who got hold of this prop knew nothing about preservation and instead junked the vast majority of original parts and essentially rebuilt it from scratch. It is no better than a fan recreation at this point.

Oh great, it's being "restored" by a management consultant. If this prop is really an important artefact of an iconic TV series it should be conserved to museum standard, not rebuilt in some car body shop. For instance, it looks like all the original paintwork has been removed, which is completely contrary to good practise in conservation.

Too bad they threw out the original materials and rebuilt rather than restored the prop. And don't give me any nonsense about "the materials were too degraded". That's what preservation is all about, but of course, these guys were ship builders, not preservationists, so their instinct was to junk it and rebuild it from scratch. They effectively destroyed a piece of television history.

What's disappointing to me, is why they didn't go the extra mile and construct the interior as well!... It makes no sense to me, why they put so much work into the exterior and disregard the interior!... Everyone knows what the interior looks like so? I'm sure it was very disappointing, for all of the hard-core Star Trek fans out there!...
