The fully restored original model of NCC-1701 USS Enterprise from the original series of Star Trek. Housed in a glass display case in the National Air & Space Museum in Washington D.C.
If youβre ever in the D.C. area, come and see her, the original model from the original series! Sheβs in the Air and Space Museum.
Iβve seen all of them. Embarrassed to say Iβve seen most of them many far more than once.
One for the older folks like me: Pan Am Airlines
And one for the kiddies: Borders Books and Music
The experiment (STAR) and machine (RHIC) with which I have been involved for the past 28 years will record their final events tomorrow and then shutdown in preparation for the next machine (EIC). You can watch LIVE tomorrow morning at 9 am eastern time!

No,this was in the original location on the Mall. Photo is from 2024.
Yep, though the last time I was there (this photo), the museum building was still finishing renovation, so it was actually on the Independence Ave. Side of the building.
The original USS Enterprise NCC-1701 model that was used in filming three original series of Star Trek. The model is sitting in a glad enclosure fully lit surrounded by people in the atrium off the national air and space museum.
And here she is now, fully restored and beautiful as ever in the national air and space museum!

Hey John,
Iβd follow you again if I could buddy.
Happy Veterans Day to all who have served us, no matter where, no matter when!
The great thing is, now that youβve listed them all at once, you only have to do them one at a time.
Best wishes and strength for you. Hereβs one you likely know very well.
