Re-watching first contact one can't help but smile at the Vulcan's culture shock. They would never admit to being surprised but they definitely surprised.
I'm glad the ship gets to recreate it's historic voyage on every anniversary of the initial mission just imagine being a federation citizen and getting ready for a warp 4 trip on a starliner class ship to your nearest star system with some of your closest friends from distant worlds from some of the coolest corners of the whole federation. How awesome would that be. By the way great video ❣️❣️❣️❣️
Very creative and plausible story of how the XVC Enterprise would fit into the Star Trek TOS and TMP cannon. I appreciate that you did not have the crew make actual "first contact" with the inhabitants of the planet, so as to keep Cochrane with that honor. It was great to see a photo of this ship (along with other ships named "Enterprise") displayed in the rec room of the re-fitted U.S.S. Enterprise NCC-1701 in TMP. My understanding (correct me if I am in error) was that the design of the XVC Enterprise, was an early concept idea created by Art Director Matt Jefferies as he was sketching out possible designs of the starship Enterprise for Star Trek TOS. In my opinion, your prequel story can easily fit in TOS cannon a lot more faithful than the Discovery prequel series. LL&P.
This is such a great story that fits directly into cannon, very well done, the way you tell it gives great honor to the early years of space travel, it is like this story could actually happen, the music was excellent, the presentation, graphics are well thought out, I would like to see the interior of the ship and how they lived on their 10 year journey, I think this is the best one you have done
I knew NONE of this and am just blown away at your extrapolations and gap filling. I am curious as to how far the Proxima inhabitants had advanced on the return of the XCV Enterprise. Man, talk about being invested in a storyline! Very cool! Thank you!!!
The fact that the earth was *this* close to annihilation... The ONLY reason anything in trek happens is because of the UESPA remnants on the moon... Insane.
@@TriAngulumAudioStudios Yeah, she is a great ship that many over looked or knew nothing about because she only had a picture on the wall and if not mistaken a model of it in the office of that one guy in the JJ universe who created that big black starship. As well as in star trek continues seen in the last shot in kirk's office before he left.
I always wondered how Zefram Cochrane invented warp drive, taking a defunct tech from before the war and making it more punchy by using ICBM tech of WW3 actually explains that very well, I loved this......👍👌👍
True. In fact, the current owners of Star Trek are missing out on various projects for fans. A 'history' based series of shorts on starship design presented in the style of a History Channel program. Heck, why not have Halloween specials? Haunted Star Fleet Academy.
@@TriAngulumAudioStudios keep em coming my friend. They are well thought out. I wish CBS would hire just a handful of you talented TH-cam content creators to come up with new series storylines.
So Zephram Cochrane just got lucky the Vulcans were flying by. He wasn’t the first to do anything special with warp drive on earth. There was at least two warp capable vessels prior to 2063.
Exactly, in fact First Contact (The Movie) says that the Vulcan ship just happened to be passing by, hence why the flight needed to occur by a specific time!
It is nicely done, and the ship matches the first sketches the Roddenberry initial team did in 1963 when toying with a space civilization show, similar but more adult than "Rocky Jones Space Ranger" . One way to keep the history consistent with what has actually been in scripts of TOS, TNG, DS9, 1st Contact and Enterprise... Would be to make the 21st century experimental Enterprise an IMPULSE DRIVE experiment. As it is you have it taking over 5 years to get there. Impulse in the series and movies is capable of FTL apparent speeds, as shown in the first Kirk script WNMHGB. Often in scripts it is implied as sublight or barely lightspeed, except of course when they want to star hop with it. It went at the speed of plot. Captain Sulu was cruising home from his deep space mission on impulse with the Excelsior in ST6. They took long trips in several TOS episodes on impulse. Impulse and Warp being two different concepts of startravel matches with the intro narration of Forbidden Planet... And TOS was so obviously "Forbidden Planet The Next Generation" that GR always ducked any comparison by quickly changing the subject. Nicely rendered film BTW and a good story.
According to this video, Cochrine was able to take existing warp technology and greatly improve the efficiency and practicality of the engine design. The XCV-330 took months to slowly accelerate to FTL speed. The design of the Phoenix's engine was able to do the same acceleration in a few minutes. Think of it like the Epstine Drive from The Expanse. A jump in refinement of existing technology that made space travel practical. Really, this makes sense with the history of technology. The person who invents something rarely gets remembered by history. The person who get credit is the person who took an existing idea and refined it enough to make it practical. Everything from the Gutenberg Press, Jame's Watt's steam engine, the Otis Elevator, The Singer Sewing Machine, the Ford Model T automobile, all the way up to the Apple computer were all based on technology already available. The key was they made the final innovations that made it a viable technology for everyday applications and not just something with limited use.
@@STho205 I used to get that Star Trek Factfile partwork, which said that full impulse was only a quarter of the speed of light. But that was specifically talking about the Enterprise D, if I remember rightly. Maybe such an advanced vessel had "slow" impulse drives just for in-system travel, and the expectation that the flagship would never be more than about an hour from rescue, if her warp drives ever catastrophically failed.
@@worldcomicsreview354 Rick Sternbach and Michael Okuda put together a book on the Enterprise-D, and in that they detailed on how impulse engine technology had improved along with improvements in fusion energy production to the point that impulse engines of the 24th Century could actually produce a warp field, allowing for faster impulse speeds and also warp-maneuvering with just the impulse engines alone(basically being able to maneuver faster with a large-mass vessel). They didn't allow the ship to go past Warp 1, but near enough to make a difference. With that pointed out, this actually makes what was pointed out here with the XCV-300's FTL ability appropriate to the lore.
Can you do a video of the launch and fate of the SS Valiant, the Earth ship that was launched in 2065 that went to the edge of the galaxy where some of their crewmembers mutated to godlike beings, which was explained in TOS pilot "Where No Man has Gone Before"?
Thank you for this awesome look at a ship that was only a picture in the STO TMP. how wonderful you built a full history for it, this was awesome you should do more of these it helps fill out the history of the Federation and StarTrek. again Thank you for this awesome Video.=)
There are actually a lot of different and conflicting sources... So I just took them all, weeded out what I thought was silly or didnt fit properly and crafted the story :)
*The sad reality is that governments are hyper paranoid, they will always assume any alien life is a threat and will make preemptive attacks even if its meant said aliens were friendly (including other countries!!)* That's why we would never have any extra terrestrial allies, until humanity can first learn to get along with each other. I hope one day world peace can be a reality. Great video, I'll have to watch more. Subscribed. 🤗🤗
@@TriAngulumAudioStudios your most welcome. 🙏🙏 I still frequent Star Trek Online (I'm a geek and avid gamer in spare time!!) Also (re) watch the many series (including Picard, Discovery, lower decks and some fan made on TH-cam which are incredibly good) Always nice to see people's creativity and passion for the genre.
I was just wishing for a video on the backstory of these ships the other day! I love how this weaves the ship neatly into the timeline. As to it being warp capable, I dont think this needs to contradict the idea of Cochrane first breaking the light barrier, there are various "warp barriers" like warp 2, warp 5 etc, so breaking ftl itself would be probably the first and most difficult to overcome. I doubt one would go straight from experimental "torodial space time dilation " experiments to ftl. One would test this sublight and achieving ftl might require field and engine designs orders of magnitude more difficult than a sublight version of warp.... so... So, I might guess this is a sub light warp, based on the alcubierre design where the Cochrane design is modified to overcome the limitations it may have. So it may achieve only say 90 percent lightspeed, thus still arriving around 5 years at alpha centauri, but there's some barriers to the old design that limited the Starliner class to mostly in solar system use or only as far as alpha centauri... If we actually developed a drive that achieved even 10 percent c we could travel across the solar system in less than a year, hence using these ships as soon as warp propulsion could provide even a slight advantage over vasimir for example... So i would say Cochrane was developing the upgraded drive before ww3 to overcome slow acceleration and whatever the limitations would be, and had to work with scrap once UESPA lost support from earth due to ww3. How about a video speculating on Cochrane's career before ww3? Was he a UESPA scientist perhaps? I personally doubt btw he was born in 2030, the 2013 date makes more sense...was he involved in top secret research pre war?
With human tendencies to just flip switched, this to the scene of Scotty locked into the transport system while stuck on the Dyson Sphere, and question later. Scotty, became very lucky, that Jordy, is the one that came upon the rigged setup. Of course it leaves the question, why not travel to other galaxies, lock in transporter loops and auto downloaded on arrival to the new galaxy, no older than a few seconds in age, than when one left.
Well, the transporter loop was only 50% effective remember? Franklin deserved better, so it's not a reliable technology... Also the nearest Galaxy is about 2 million light years away, at warp 9.6 it would take a starship about 680 years to get there, warp 9.9 (If a starship could attain and maintain that speed) 306 years... There arent that many people that would give up that kind of time to travel there... Then you have the problem of regular maintenance to a starship. Centuries are a long time for a ship as complex as that to travel without maintenance, so who would do it? We know from Voyager that both the ship falls apart if regular maintenance isnt done about every 2 weeks, and that going in to suspended transporter animation is harmful to humanoid species to continually do so. So a person couldnt just come out every 14 days, do maintenance and head back in. What about fuel supply? The Enterprise D needed to be refueled every 7 years, Voyager apparently every other day, how do you go at least 3 centuries without a gas station? So these are but a few issues off the top of my head as to why intergalactic travel as you described, simply wouldnt work...
Ask Lt. Matt Franklin about that. His transporter pattern had degraded to 50 percent in 75 years. Think if Scotty had re-materialized what was left of him in the pattern buffer...😫🤮
This was pretty amazing. Well done sir. I would love to see a video of the Star Fleet fleet museum. It has been mentioned in several of your videos. I would have to also assume that anytime someone, from any of the TV or movie series, mentions seeing an older Fed ship in a museum they are probably referring to this one. If you already did one on this please point me to it.
Very well done. Nice use of cuts between sources. Just enough to fuel the head cannon of "Could be" for a bit of creative fun. Live long and prosper and blessings to you friend. ^.^
Been saving up interesting videos like this to piece together to work out to to keep my mind occupied. Although I've seen background images of this, having in styled with the TOS aesthetic really brings it to life. I just looked at it as a silly design till now, i'm only now realising how graceful and actually pretty the design is. More a comment on the subject matter than the channel but a much better vid than I was expecting. Great work.
What a delightful and inspiring video. As for me, I'm not only extremely grateful for this great video, but also highly motivated to watch more of your videos, as the quality of this one was extremely high, and it was really fun to listen to you. Thank you very much, I hope there will be many more of these videos that will finally refresh the really long overdue world building for Star Trek! Keep it up, and from me as well: Live long and prosper! 🖖
This was beautiful ! ! I was always mildly interested in this ship/class, but never knew what to properly think about it and its place within the ST universe. Otherwise, I already read the story about the pre-Cochrane Centauri flight quite a few years ago, probably on Memory Beta, but I did not like it that much. I especially did not like the part of the planet's being inhabited by a sentient sapient species*, and moreover, I did not like that the aliens superficially looked almost like Humans. That was a massive let-down to me since I found it pretty lazy and unimaginative. I am guessing that this Beta story was created some time during the '70s or '80s when some Trekkies CLUMSILY strove to reconcile the TOS episode Metamorphosis with wider Star Trek canon which was caused by the old outing's Zefram Cochrane's proclamation of his being from Alpha Centauri. They obviously got all confused over it. * - As far as I know, in the current ST canon the Centauri planet was naturally M-class and it already supported complex life upon its discovery by Humanity (definitely flora in the least), but there was not any intelligent species living there. Canonically, TOS's Cochrane's claim of his being from the Centauri only meant that he was a Human from the Earth who only moved to the new world later in his life.
Wait, what? There was no new Star Trek on screen in the 70s aside from The Motion Picture in 1979, TNG didn't begin until 1987 and it ran 7 seasons ending in 1994. The film First Contact was several years thereafter, being the second TNG feature film to be produced after the television series ended. Thus, until the latter half of the 90s there was no contradiction of the TOS episode for fans to reconcile, clumsily or not. Your timeline is so far off the mark it's ridiculous.
Loved this, what a concept! With Midnight Sky & ST the Motion Picture being pitched and produced seems this could make the leap too. 2010 built some tension with events at home helping build story. Would love to see something well done with more character development and less flash (Hollywood).
Thanks for acknowledging this ship. I thought it was much over due. It is a cool design and cannon so it should have something out there about it. I like this design.
Most definitely 👍👍I would love to hear MORE truth or Myth Trek historical storytelling like this . Very interesting fable using TOS,TNG ,DS9 and Enterprise canon history loop .. very well done ... Would like to see more. Please.
At least the XCV was made canon in Enterprise as they had a sketch in Archer's Ready Room and a "painting" in the 603 during "First Flight," but the history should have at least been mentioned
I really enjoyed this video! Thank you for all the work you put into it. Especially the renderings, the writing, and the editing. I was thoroughly enthralled, and I can't say that for most of the other content I watch (which is mostly just to pass the time). Now I have to check out your other videos. I was just thinking, considering the XCV Enterprise was armed with hydrogen-fusion missiles (I assume), what would they have done if the Proxima Centaurians detected their presence, or had ranged armaments that could reach space from the ground (like ICBMs)? Or perhaps, if they had primitive space vessels (like ours in the present day)? Would there be a situation (other than the one outlined in the video) where the Enterprise would make the decision to fire? And if the Enterprise was lost, would Humanity then start building fleets of starships, or possibly launch warp-capable missiles from Earth? Did I mention that I really liked the video!?
I've always been interested in the story of this vessel. It would be interesting to learn more about the people on that strange new world in another video. Nice job
The Terran Universe counterpart might have bombarded and invaded that pre-warp civilization and reported everything so that when Cocrane signalled the Vulcans they were ready for it (as seen in the intro of ENT terran episodes).
The chronicles of the XCV-330 Enterprise would have arguably made a better TV series than the last Enterprise TV series (with Captain Archer and Sub-Commander T’Pol). I hope this happens one day, even if it’s just 2 or 3 series long with 10 episodes each.
Very coOL....You did a great job exploring this early Starship. In an alternate Universe, the Jupitor spacecraft reaches Alpha Centauri using Hyperdrive after a long deviation from it's original course. Upon arrival, and to the surprise of the Robinson's, welcoming Alpha Centuari military officials greet the crew but arrest Dr. Smith and a long trial occurs. Seems Earth established communications between the 2 star systems during their long journey in space....
Great video! Love that ship. I wrote an alternate story for it on what I consider a follow up/companion to the Federation: The First 150 Years book. I wrote to Titan Books regarding the ideas but I haven't been following up with the proposals.
First: It's a wonderful story. Thank's for it. Second: What I think about the ship-design itself: It is a really beautiful Ship, but I think, I would jump in the next escape-pod at the first sign of trouble. I just don't believe, the this fragile structure could withstand a meteorite-impact or more than a very weak phaser beam...
Man, It would be nice if they made an actual star trek show that plays before 2100 on board this ship or the first SS Emmete. Something that takes place mostly in our Solar System.
This was pretty wonderful. But it's important that our government be open, clear, and honest with its citizens. We are not babies. Honesty and integrity should be held to the highest regardless of what they believe the implications and consequences would be. Trust is what relationships are based upon. And if they get to be all up in our business but we aren't allowed to know what they are doing and discovering then that is not a good recipe for building and keeping trust and peace.
I was going to write a normal comment here but something really crazy happened and I'm just going to stick my head in the ground in shame. Love your starship videos

We know from Voyager that both the ship falls apart if regular maintenance isnt done about every 2 weeks, and that going in to suspended transporter animation is harmful to humanoid species to continually do so. So a person couldnt just come out every 14 days, do maintenance and head back in. What about fuel supply? The Enterprise D needed to be refueled every 7 years, Voyager apparently every other day, how do you go at least 3 centuries without a gas station? So these are but a few issues off the top of my head as to why intergalactic travel as you described, simply wouldnt work...
Ask Lt. Matt Franklin about that. His transporter pattern had degraded to 50 percent in 75 years. Think if Scotty had re-materialized what was left of him in the pattern buffer...😫🤮

“He turned inside out”.
“And exploded”. 😂

This was pretty amazing. Well done sir. I would love to see a video of the Star Fleet fleet museum. It has been mentioned in several of your videos. I would have to also assume that anytime someone, from any of the TV or movie series, mentions seeing an older Fed ship in a museum they are probably referring to this one. If you already did one on this please point me to it.
Great suggestion! Ill put it on my to do list, though it will probably take me quite a long time to set up the entire thing and research it :)
I always saw the model on the shows but never knew anything about it..ty..love the chaannel
You're very welcome :) And thanks for supporting the channel :)
Nice job on creating the story for this starship.
Great Video! Amazing job with all the informations! 😄👏👏👏
Thank you Viscount! :)
And sadly, the institution of the nuclear weapons made it necessary to remove the ship’s bowling alley.
I first saw the ship in Spaceflight Chronology in the early 80's. Such an awesome book.
A great book which tells the history of Starfleet and how we rescued a Vulcan shuttle damaged near Pluto and made first contact.
Very well done. Nice use of cuts between sources. Just enough to fuel the head cannon of "Could be" for a bit of creative fun. Live long and prosper and blessings to you friend. ^.^
Thank you Sarah, it was the best I could do with what I have :)
@@TriAngulumAudioStudios Absolutely! You did/do wonderful and great connection to the community!
This was spectacular. I would love to see more like this.
You got it! And thank you :)
This was actually some good insight on this vessel. I had thought that the enterprise was launched after first contact instead of before.
Been saving up interesting videos like this to piece together to work out to to keep my mind occupied. Although I've seen background images of this, having in styled with the TOS aesthetic really brings it to life. I just looked at it as a silly design till now, i'm only now realising how graceful and actually pretty the design is. More a comment on the subject matter than the channel but a much better vid than I was expecting. Great work.
amazingly well done ! I'd love to see this as a movie ! don't stop it's so cool !
What a delightful and inspiring video.
As for me, I'm not only extremely grateful for this great video, but also highly motivated to watch more of your videos, as the quality of this one was extremely high, and it was really fun to listen to you.
Thank you very much, I hope there will be many more of these videos that will finally refresh the really long overdue world building for Star Trek!
Keep it up, and from me as well: Live long and prosper! 🖖
This was beautiful ! !
I was always mildly interested in this ship/class, but never knew what to properly think about it and its place within the ST universe.
Otherwise, I already read the story about the pre-Cochrane Centauri flight quite a few years ago, probably on Memory Beta, but I did not like it that much. I especially did not like the part of the planet's being inhabited by a sentient sapient species*, and moreover, I did not like that the aliens superficially looked almost like Humans.
That was a massive let-down to me since I found it pretty lazy and unimaginative.
I am guessing that this Beta story was created some time during the '70s or '80s when some Trekkies CLUMSILY strove to reconcile the TOS episode Metamorphosis with wider Star Trek canon which was caused by the old outing's Zefram Cochrane's proclamation of his being from Alpha Centauri. They obviously got all confused over it.
* - As far as I know, in the current ST canon the Centauri planet was naturally M-class and it already supported complex life upon its discovery by Humanity (definitely flora in the least), but there was not any intelligent species living there.
Canonically, TOS's Cochrane's claim of his being from the Centauri only meant that he was a Human from the Earth who only moved to the new world later in his life.
Thank you so much Subraxas :)

Thank you, David, for thanking me. :-)
Wait, what? There was no new Star Trek on screen in the 70s aside from The Motion Picture in 1979, TNG didn't begin until 1987 and it ran 7 seasons ending in 1994. The film First Contact was several years thereafter, being the second TNG feature film to be produced after the television series ended. Thus, until the latter half of the 90s there was no contradiction of the TOS episode for fans to reconcile, clumsily or not. Your timeline is so far off the mark it's ridiculous.
Loved this, what a concept! With Midnight Sky & ST the Motion Picture being pitched and produced seems this could make the leap too. 2010 built some tension with events at home helping build story. Would love to see something well done with more character development and less flash (Hollywood).
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you :)
You weave a fantastic saga! Please continue!
Thank you so much :)
Thanks for acknowledging this ship. I thought it was much over due. It is a cool design and cannon so it should have something out there about it. I like this design.
WOW very nice Video, Thank you very much
You're Welcome Dominik :)
Most definitely 👍👍I would love to hear MORE truth or Myth Trek historical storytelling like this . Very interesting fable using TOS,TNG ,DS9 and Enterprise canon history loop .. very well done ... Would like to see more. Please.
I saw a painting in the book Ship of the Line.
This NEEDS to be canon. ‘Nuff said.
Thank you :)
At least the XCV was made canon in Enterprise as they had a sketch in Archer's Ready Room and a "painting" in the 603 during "First Flight," but the history should have at least been mentioned
Very cool! Loved it.
Thank you Bill!
Another Great Story and Video. Result: 2👍👍 UP. 🤩
Good story. Thank you.
I really enjoyed this video! Thank you for all the work you put into it. Especially the renderings, the writing, and the editing. I was thoroughly enthralled, and I can't say that for most of the other content I watch (which is mostly just to pass the time). Now I have to check out your other videos.
I was just thinking, considering the XCV Enterprise was armed with hydrogen-fusion missiles (I assume), what would they have done if the Proxima Centaurians detected their presence, or had ranged armaments that could reach space from the ground (like ICBMs)? Or perhaps, if they had primitive space vessels (like ours in the present day)?
Would there be a situation (other than the one outlined in the video) where the Enterprise would make the decision to fire?
And if the Enterprise was lost, would Humanity then start building fleets of starships, or possibly launch warp-capable missiles from Earth?
Did I mention that I really liked the video!?
I've always been interested in the story of this vessel. It would be interesting to learn more about the people on that strange new world in another video. Nice job
I am listening to this while animating some star trek, amazing work! Keep it up!
I Love this Spaceship Design . I would love to see a Series in this Time Periode .
A Mix of interstellar Another Life and Star Trek .
I really love this episode you really did a amazing job putting it all together.
I know I'll never forget where I was when I heard the Eugenics War had ended.
So, it took over 16 years for Boeing to get all the bugs out of the Starliner. Hopefully Butch & Suni made it home long before then.
The Terran Universe counterpart might have bombarded and invaded that pre-warp civilization and reported everything so that when Cocrane signalled the Vulcans they were ready for it (as seen in the intro of ENT terran episodes).
The chronicles of the XCV-330 Enterprise would have arguably made a better TV series than the last Enterprise TV series (with Captain Archer and Sub-Commander T’Pol).
I hope this happens one day, even if it’s just 2 or 3 series long with 10 episodes each.
Another excellent video! I had not seen much info on this class, so this was certainly cool!
Beautiful visuals and another great story.
I really want to see the Starship museum. Maybe in Picard or Discovery?
thank you so much Jim and Ive got my fingers crossed! :)
🖖😎👍Very nicely well done and very well informatively explained and executed indeed 👌.
Cool story! I hope it gets picked up as the official backstory.
Thank you so much :)
Very coOL....You did a great job exploring this early Starship.
In an alternate Universe, the Jupitor spacecraft reaches Alpha Centauri using Hyperdrive after a long deviation from it's original course. Upon arrival, and to the surprise of the Robinson's, welcoming Alpha Centuari military officials greet the crew but arrest Dr. Smith and a long trial occurs. Seems Earth established communications between the 2 star systems during their long journey in space....
I like this. The previous research of this makes Cochran's advances not as a shocking jump.
Great video! Love that ship. I wrote an alternate story for it on what I consider a follow up/companion to the Federation: The First 150 Years book. I wrote to Titan Books regarding the ideas but I haven't been following up with the proposals.
Wonderful, just wonderful. Subbed & thank you for this.
First: It's a wonderful story. Thank's for it.
Second: What I think about the ship-design itself: It is a really beautiful Ship, but I think, I would jump in the next escape-pod at the first sign of trouble. I just don't believe, the this fragile structure could withstand a meteorite-impact or more than a very weak phaser beam...
Very good. Thank you for your wonderful work.
Many thanks Kelvin! :)
The thing is that when they imagined these they couldn't believe how close to reality they were
Geez can you pitch this to CBS? This was such a great combination of footage and story i would totally watch that as movie or a series.
Man, It would be nice if they made an actual star trek show that plays before 2100 on board this ship or the first SS Emmete. Something that takes place mostly in our Solar System.
Not much to make of a series just flying around in a single solar system
Damn fine work
Thank you!
Lovingly done, Bravo!
Thanks Randy :)
This was pretty wonderful. But it's important that our government be open, clear, and honest with its citizens. We are not babies. Honesty and integrity should be held to the highest regardless of what they believe the implications and consequences would be. Trust is what relationships are based upon. And if they get to be all up in our business but we aren't allowed to know what they are doing and discovering then that is not a good recipe for building and keeping trust and peace.
Excellent, Sir.
Really great story. I love it!
Glad you enjoyed it Zachary!!! Thank you :)
Never heard of this ship before. Very interesting.
can you do a beta canon story for the akira class with your
It IS on my "to do" list :)
This ship looks like a table lamp put sideways :D
I was going to write a normal comment here but something really crazy happened and I'm just going to stick my head in the ground in shame.
Love your starship videos
Great tale,I'd love to see a full length story or movie of this,you'd make a great narrator for the audio book...
you have to do another one showing the changes of the new world
Great video. Thank you.
You are welcome Jed!
That was interesting, thank you.
That is a very Hopeful story thank you
Well if something goes wrong.
History will never forget the name Enterprise. 🤣🖖🏽
