About The Author
I recently had the privilege to visit Star Trek: The Exhibition in Florida. It was marvelous… humbling.
Perhaps I shall create a YouTube video of my experience? Show those who unfortunately are unable to attend the adventure.
Unfortunately, as the article above states, the Original Series bridge was not presented at the Kennedy Space Center. I’ve been deeply confused and pained by that, to be truthful. From my understanding, all that was said to be included would be in attendance at all locations…
