I almost cried. Very emotional moment in history! First shuttle craft in Sci-fi? Wonderful. Many Brazilians love Galileo, too! 💕

I did, and it caught me by surprise!

I've seen someone restore the DeLorean from Back to the Future, I saw someone restore the K.I.T.T. 1982 Pontiac Trans Am from Knight Rider, and now this. This shuttle's restoration is as much of a labor of love as the other two projects. I have to say they did well restoring this prop back to it's full glory. :D

I watched the Star Trek series as an elementary school kid when originally broadcast. The restoration of the shuttle is a nice thing for us old fans of the series

It’s Awesome that some people can still appreciate a classic like this, Bravo....

I am just so pleased with this rebuild restoring such a iconic prop from my youth. As with others the star trek series inspired me and my love of science especially science. I am very happy that this piece of history will now be cared for in a proper setting so that young people may see it and the show and it will inspire them. Thank you again.

One of the most awesome restorations ever. Thank you guys. I love this work.

beautiful work! somehow it makes me happy to know this little part of my childhood has been restored.

What an amazing project! The ultimate tribute to our favorite Shuttlecraft..

Adam Schneider, thank you for restoring her! Your team’s very expensive labor of love will inspire the next gen and brings back great memories for us old farts!

When I was a kid, I used to walk by this everyday going to school when it was at the Foundation for the Jr. Blind in Los Angeles, in the 60's. Used to wonder why it was there since the kids were blind. Still, it was cool to look at and I wanted to get in it but it was fenced in. Memories.

I visited Space Center Houston last year and had no idea it was there. I was eating in the cafeteria and saw the shuttlecraft sitting in the back corner.

So glad to see this prop restored, and made publicly available. Thanks for sharing this.

Seeing the Star Trek scenes with Galileo just made me feel good. Great memories. 👍

It truly does belong in a museum. Great job guys. Thank you

They did it!! It was such a sad mess in the pre-restoration videos. I'm so happy about this!! Congrats, guys, on a job well done!!

Those guys are awesome. Thank you Master Shipwrights!

amazing... this brought tears to my eyes.

I'm working on an AMT model kit of this shuttle right now. The kit is woefully inaccurate out of the box. But thankfully there is an upgrade kit for the AMT Galileo that makes it more accurate. I'm looking forward to the results.

Thank you for that Herculean effort! So cool of all involved! I'm glad it still exists!

I saw one of these sitting off the road for many years in Calabasas California near Woodland Hills in the mid 80s nice to see it restored

Before the restoration, it was lucky it wasn't hauled away AS garbage!

You people have done a wonderful job, thank you..

My favorite story about STAR TREK is when I first met Scott Carpenter, Mercury Astronaut we were at a Black Tie event backstage and as I walked up to greet him he was watching a wall monitor playing an original series STAR TREK episode. As we chatted he said "I LOVE this show" and I said "You Are Responsible For That Show" and we all laughed knowing.

Yeah a Star Trek fan club in my city got it in the newspapers and TV made a big deal about it, and hid it from everybody and nothing ever became of it and now I see this! I'm glad!!

People come together common love of something and saved it. Thank you

QC Took a little coffe break on that one, or maybe Khan blasted it there!

I remember following its repair a few years back. They posted a bulletin every week or few days. I can't remember how it was done now, I think it was on a website not YT or any sort of social media.

I just now read in the "Comments" that the Shuttle is no longer on display at Johnson because the COO didn't think it "fits". I'm retired and have visited ALL the major A&S centers/museums in this country and spent 3 days at Kennedy SFC a few weeks before visiting Johnson in December 2017. EXCEPT for the Space Shuttle mounted on the Boeing 747 carrier and a Saturn V rocket, Johnson was a TOTAL disappointment. I do not recommend it. They did not even acknowledge the existence of SpaceX and offered no SpaceX items for sale in their gift shop. Fortunately I had bought a number of SpaceX shirts and other items at Kennedy SFC for Christmas presents when there. The Startrek Shuttle MUST go where it will be appreciated. Johnson does not deserve it. My #1 recommendation is the Smithsonian at Dullas Airport near DC where they are now carefully restoring the Enterprise scale model used for the TV show and movies.

This design shuttle could be used in space and to land on the moon if it was set up right.

very aspirational, and very generous of the schneider’s to save this piece of the way humans dream about their future.

Great to see it in it's restored condition... gonna have to see this in Houston IRL some time

Love the work and trekkie spirit!!

What a wonderful story, what a patient and loving wife to let her husband to do this.

Amazing work.

Fantastic remodel!

Nice work..A+

It was at Space Center Houston, I saw it first at Astronaut Gallery, then it got moved to the food court (Zero G Diner), and the last time I saw it was at the warehouse next to the employee parking lot.

Well done!!

Thank you from Trekkies everywhere for saving this valuable piece of modern culture.

WHAT A GREAT VIDEO.

Like the Tardis, the shuttle is larger inside than out. Spock has an extra foot of head clearance in Galileo 7, but this fellow must stoop over when viewed from the outside.

A happy story and an inspiring video but they should have gotten Uhura to handle the sound mixing and volume level control.

Nice job, and as a matter of interest what maximum speed did the Galileo have in open space? And what sort of range did it have to reach planets and make it back to the Enterprise? And how long before the power and onboard food, water and oxygen depleted?

There were times the planet's atmosphere or some other "scientific" reason would not allow it. I used quotes because, basically it came down to what the script called for.

Great contribution and craftsmanship. Curiously, the video doesn’t show the interior which I assume was also restored.

@Durwood71

3 жыл бұрын

The prop was only ever an outer shell. All interior scenes from the show were filmed on a separate set that was much too large to fit inside the prop. Notice that the actors could stand fully upright on the set, but the interior of the prop is only around 5-feet from floor to ceiling, which is why the actors are always hunched over when they exit it.

awesome piece of film history saved

Nice to see the effort put into restoring it (easily a 9 out of 10) but let us know when it actually does get put into flight status.

Drinkwhiswyraisehell Well they did say they had to replace "ALL of the wood & Fiberglass" and re-used the metal parts, looking at it, most of it is wood, so they will not show the work, as it was not really (restored), more a replica of the original with original bits re fitted on to a new shell, which if they showed the work, it would clearly show. The same thing was done with the original General Lee No;1 car, the shell was so bad they re=shelled the car, fitted a few savable bits from the original on it, and claimed it was restored, when it was not!.
