If anyone's looking for a new Orbiter modeling project, here you go!

The thing is even named "Enterprise"!

Of course, we probably won't see a real one for a hundred years, if ever... (especially on NASA's budget).

Noticed a number of flaws...

From my understanding warp drives still cant exceed the speed of light...Even though they can get pretty close. Radiation in the form particles-antiparticle pairs could wreck havoc on anything inside the warp bubble. Thus there would need to be lots of sheilding.

Also the article states that the interstellar movie is about warp drives when in reality its about stable wormholes.

This spacecraft was obviously designed by a graphics-designer and not a spacecraft designer.

For one, why are the windows pointed the wrong way? Contrary to what you may have learned from Star Trek, rockets are not boats. :lol:

*YAWN*

Pretty graphics. Looks cool. But not realistic.

Wake me when the U.S. can put a human into LEO without outsourcing.

Time for my nap.

*SNORE*

Obviously. Otherwise it wouldn't look so cool. :p
