Restored Star Trek shuttle getting closer to Houston
restored Star Trek prop is one step closer to coming to Space Center Houston after being brought back to life in New Jersey by some Trekkies and master craftsmen.
The Galileo shuttle, fully restored to its original luster when it was featured in the 1967 Trek episode "The Galileo Seven," is now finished and being crated for shipment to Clear Lake where it will be on display. It should arrive in Houston next week.
It will be shipped in three pieces and reassembled for a July 31st grand opening, says Jack Moore with Space Center Houston. Organizers for Space City Con, which will be held Aug. 2-4, will be throwing a bash for the spacecraft on that day.
Project manager and memorabilia collector Adam Schneider bought the Galileo last year at an auction for $61,000. The prop's condition was less than stellar, and the vehicle was covered in rust.
