Star Trek: Earth Spacedock
Фильм және анимация
The Earth Spacedock is probably one of my favourite models used in Star Trek. It made its début in the film Star Trek III: The Search for Spock. The footage filmed was then reused for the The Next Generation episode "11001001", although the model stood in for Starbase 74. The same footage continued to be recycled as Lya Station Alpha, Starbase 84, and Starbase 133.
For reference purposes, I have compiled all of its appearances in the Star Trek films. Design credits go to David Carson and Nilo Rodis at Industrial Light & Magic. All copyright to Paramount Pictures. This is a fair use video.

Both are badasses, though.

I totally agree that the Earth Space Dock is one of the coolest things ever created in any sci-fi franchise! I used to wonder what it would be like to live and work in one of these structures. I think that is part of the reason I love STAR TREK ONLINE. Because after all the years of wanting to visit inside one of these, I am finally able to walk around INSIDE Earth Space Dock! It's great to be able to check out the different sections and offices, to get to see and interact with tons of people working in Earth Space Dock, the great views looking out the big windows, and don't forget about Club 47 up on deck 47 -- if your PC has good speakers Club 47 is a great place to just sit and relax after a hard days work and just listen to the music. Being able to finally visit Earth Space Dock is like a dream come true for a Trek fan. Your video reminds me how much I have always wanted a big door-sized poster of Earth Space Dock for my wall.

Lt. Valeris is played by a pre-Sex and the City Kim Cattrall. The role was originally meant to be Kirstie Alley reprising Lt. Saavik from Wrath of Kahn, but IIRC Leonard Nimoy objected to the character being a traitor, and thus Valeris was created as an expy of her. That's also why the reaction is what it was amongst the crew - it was meant to remind Kirk of the last time Saavik quoted regulations at him that he ignored.

this will continue to be one of my favorite scenes.
The best ship and the best star fleet crew.
Love this scene in Star Trek VI The Undiscovered Country. The Captains use of Scotty & Uhura's first names and their replies of 'sir' showing their friendship and respect gained over their years together! Certainly one of my favourite TOS films...! 🖖

Great video! love the old model effects! they still look better than the cg ships that replaced them! they have a physical presence that gives them a more real feel than pure cgi effects alone! its a shame the earth spacedock would never again be seen on the big screen after "the undiscovered country" I never understood why because it did exist in the TNG era
I love the scene where Kirk and crew steal the Enterprise. Because after Starfleet denies Kirk's request to return to the Genesis planet with the Enterprise to search for Spock, he is then like "Ah, fuck Starfleet orders, I'm stealing my baby to rescue my best friend!" (even though he destroys the Enterprise later on). Kirk sometimes disobeyed orders in TOS, but he never went to a great length like this.

the score is just perfect.
At 1:17 if you look in the left corner of the screen you'll see the study model of the ship design on which the U.S.S. Discovery is based And at 4:55 you'll notice that Excelsior is the first bridge design with the separate Helm/Navigation consoles.

GTA:Star Trek style. Grand Theft Starship more like it.
AWESOME VIDEO CLIPS!! THANKS!!
Apparently 1/4 impulse going forward is way faster than flying backwards when you consider the scenes for Star Trek III and VI.

+Cougar Land It's more of a throttle than an actual speed.
Chief Engineer Scott was the discoverer and designer of TransWarp drive. He insisted that it be installed in the Enterprise but Starfleet wanted it in the Excelsior. Scotty fought Starfleet to the point where this point when he stole major computer chips for TransWarp. Section 31 personnel went after Scotty to the point where Scotty escaped to his accidental meeting with the Dyson Sphere. After his rescue by Enterprise D Capt Picard dug into Scott's past and confronted him about it in the original Enterprise bridge holodeck.

@@robertballasty395 It just came to me. TNG could have really made Scotty a miracle worker again.

how did i never notice that?
Best crew ever...
As a man that once slapped a fish, I can indeed confirm that is a spacedock
Even with all the damage she reminds me of the aircraft carriers of ww2 no matter the damage they were always a beautiful sight
It took me decades to realise, Scotty didn't hack the space doors, The Space Dock Operator was ordered to opened them to prevent the destruction of the Enterprise and damage to Space Dock. They saw the Enterprise wasn't going to stop and said "Open the doors! The Excelsior's been ordered to pursue them." and then Scotty took the credit. lol

I always assumed Uhura did it. She was still in the control room after all. Regardless, I love the look on Scotty's face when the doors finally open - one second he's like "oh crap" and then he has this expression that says "How did I do that? Did I do that? Who did that? I think I'll keep my mouth shut and just let the Captain think I did that!"
That's when they made movies !!!
Oh shit great montage, I love it!
@ SETX Bubba. The Excelsior's bridge looks absolutely garish compared to the beautifully designed Enterprise bridge from ST:TOS ( beautifully designed that is, with the exception of the failure to install a second turbo lift elevator and to bolt the chairs to the floor of the bridge).

It's TERRIBLE. I think it was just thrown together because they didn't want to waste a ton of money on a set that had less than ten seconds screen time--
