USS Enterprise

Here's a blast from the past. Remember The Trouble with Tribbles, when the USS Enterprise is invaded by cute fluffy aliens that breed like ... er ... tribbles? Apparently that was the last time the original studio model of the USS Enterprise was updated. Next year the Star Trek TV series turns fifty. The Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum in Washington DC intends to celebrate this anniversary by displaying a restoration of the 11-feet long USS Enterprise in its Boeing Milestones of Flight Hall (CLICK).
