But … How Big Is It???
I am among the people who watched Star Trek XI and found myself asking the question … Just how big IS the new U.S.S. Enterprise?
It is a subject that has set off a fire-storm that even now sweeps across the internet as fans get out their rulers and count the windows in the pictures to figure out just how big it is.
After taking a step back, I decided to go to a source that just might be able to find out. … I went to the facebook page for Star Trek: The Magazine and put the question to the publisher on May 26.
I love the magazine just as I love the new movie.
The one thing I would like to learn (as I imagine many do) has to do with just what are the stats of the re-imagined Constitution-class Enterprise?
Is it the same size as the one from the original show or (as I suspect) about twice the size of the original?
I have seen the debate rolling across the internet like a hurricane.
Can you find the answers for us from the ones who developed it?
It took a day or two, but I finally got the following response from the magazine’s publisher,
Keep your eyes out for issue 21 which will include a detailed interview with ILM’s Roger Guyett… and that’s on my list of questions!
And then on May 31, he also posted the following:
And yes, I did get a definite answer to the size of the new USS Enterprise…
So … The only question left is … When does the new issue come out as we all want that answer!
The year is 2265. seven years have passed since the name Vulcan passed from a desert world to a black hole absorbing all that step too close.
