The Original Starship Enterprise

The U.S.S. Enterprise model from the 1960s TV show is located in the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum in Washington, DC. It should be in a place of honour but is, in fact, located in the basement of the museum's souvenir shop. It is still a major geek nerdgasm experience. I could have posted any of a hundred fantastic photos from the museum, the art gallery, or the Capitol which we also visited today but I thought this was too cool and unusual not to blip.

More photos here.

A different U.S.S. Enterprise that I blipped in 2011 is here.
