My eyes welled up with tears watching this video.Bravo and a heartfelt THANK YOU on a job EXTREMELY well done by all at MSI. You are all saints and saviours for doing this for yourselves and the worldwide Trek family. Bless you all!
It's so nice to see the shuttle restored. Thanks so much for you and your team's efforts. I am most certain it will be viewed my millions over the years. I hope to see it myself one day. Thanks again for restoring this great piece of our American culture.
It is a great thing you all did to restore and preserve such an iconic piece of sci-fi TV History. Great Job ! I admire the selfless gesture of sharing it with the world by donating it.
If only I had lived closer to this beastie, I likely would have been down there as often as I could volunteering my time to help restore her. She is a fine looking craft, a credit to everyone involved in the project.
Wonderful video, Mr and Mrs Schneider! To borrow from our favorite Vulcan, fascinating how the Galileo became so iconic when it was so infrequently featured on the show. You've got me wanting to build another Galileo kit! Thanks again! ~Steven (in WA state)
May very well be one of the greatest things to happen in all of TOS's history. It's nice that someone cared so much to do this, and save an Icon for all of us to be able to witness and enjoy. She belongs next to the Original Filming model of the Enterprise. Thank you.
Thank you so much Mr Schneider! Good people like you help preserve the youthful memories of people like me by solidifying the visceral and the effort must have been monumental. I can only imagine the damage done by Sandy to the shop. Thanks to all the helpers who did the labor too.
Well, now I know where I am going next Christmas when I visit my family in Houston! :D Awesome work, guys, it really brings a tear to my eye to see her fully restored! So wonderful! :D
The Galileo continues to be a captivating topic! Thank you Mr. Schneider for making possible this resurrection of the Galileo full-scale prop. I did just learn that there was a second full-size shuttle, something that is somewhat surprising. Do you know the fate of that one? I found a photo on the web of it in a parking lot where you can see both of them in the frame, just meters apart. The other one is suffering from a crushed rear canopy in the photo.
You guys did an awesome Job! But, I have one question. On the original full scale model made, the bottom half of the hull and the nacelles where a dark grey, you can see this @ 2:40 and 3:00 Is it the lighting, or did you guys lighten the color?
We had original paint samples and matched it. Most of the grey color difference you see is the camera showing something in full daylight, rather than under a much less luminous studio light, by the way, in the first episode, with lots of green "alien sky" filter color put in.
As finished as the original interior was, which is to say, empty. The interior seen on the show was a separate studio set, which wouldn't actually fit inside the exterior mockup. The occasional glimpses of an interior viewed from outside the main hatch was rudimentary set dressing with a few passenger seats.
What happened to the Interior was it restored also if it was we didn't get to see any video of it and shouldn't the front windows be just tinted not blacked out entirely? rather disappointed at that. Hope the space center in Huston will complete that side of the restoration or at least show the interior You know the Trekkies are going to ask a lot about that kind of thing.
Built the shuttle around a door handle.
You guys saved a found memory , thank you.

Good job on the restoration... but I would have liked to see more photos of the finished product as well.

She certainly belongs in the Air and Space Museum at least.

Fantastic job!
thanks for the Galileo m8s!
Incredible. Will the shuttle be touring around conventions or be located in a private collection?

She is being donated to Space Center Houston - NASA' s Visitor Center - for all to see.

Well done folks, thank you. "Out there, a 24 foot shuttlecraft. We found the needle in the hay stack."
Didn't they do the interior as well?
As finished as the original interior was, which is to say, empty. The interior seen on the show was a separate studio set, which wouldn't actually fit inside the exterior mockup. The occasional glimpses of an interior viewed from outside the main hatch was rudimentary set dressing with a few passenger seats.
She will serve a far better fate than the Original Enterprise shooting Model... Must make it to Houston to see her someday...
Hey, the Enterprise filming model also received a major restoration and is back on display at the Smithsonian.
Is any of it original? Looks like over 90% of the original ended up being replaced/in the garbage...
I will be building one scale to the old Mego style Star Trek figures.
Plus a much smaller one scale to the Minimate Trek figures.
What happened to the Interior was it restored also if it was we didn't get to see any video of it and shouldn't the front windows be just tinted not blacked out entirely? rather disappointed at that.

You forgot the time space hippies stole a shuttle craft.
