I'm very disappointed. It seems very foolish and dangerous to me. Even if it goes off without any trouble, I want everyone who approved the idea to be fired for putting lives in danger like this.

How are lives in danger Hort? Are you talking about the wind conditions? Because even with that it was a "go" situation.

All it takes is one guy with a rocket launcher. There will never be a more tempting target than a low-flying Enterprise over a densely populated region. If there's one disgruntled person in NY with a rocket launcher, you can be sure he'd take a shot at it.
Sorry for pooing on your thread, but I'm genuinely worried about this.

I'd just be more worried about weather, NYC's security in general has been upgraded sinse...wel you know. But with the nterprise coming to the Intrpid, I'd imagine a beefed up security.
And remember, Discovery was flying low over DC not long ago too.
Does anyone else see the irony in the Enterprise ending up inside the Intrepid?
If the Intrepid class is big enough for 14 shuttlecraft, the Baxial, an army of Klingons, and the Delta flyer all at once, I don't see why they couldn't cram the Enterprise in there too.

Wait... Enterprise is going inside the Intrepid? I was stationed on a Nimitz-class carrier, which is quite a bit larger than the Intrepid... and I'm not sure that the shuttle would even fit in there without removing the shuttle's tail, maybe the landing gear, and some of the carrier's internal decks. Now on top of the flight deck is another story, but I really hope they're not going to just leave the Enterprise exposed up there.

No kidding! One of my major gripes at Voyager was how Janeway just would tractor beam almost every ship they came across into their impossibly-large shuttle bay... I mean, she's got entire fleets of ships in there, not just shuttles. Even if they are small ships (which is not the impression that I got from a lot of them), there's no way to cram them in there without at least dumping all of their shuttles out and doing some sort of hot-swap for parking space... like in order to even accommodate their 14 shuttles, at least 8 of them would have to be flying a patrol formation around Voyager at any time.
My understnading is theat Enterprise will be displayed on the flight deck of the Intrepid in what will eventualy become an enclosed structure, while that's being built, Enterprise will be in a temporary structure that will have enviromental controls. (i.e Air Conditioning)
I sort of assumed the crew of Voyager manufactured new shuttles as they went along. The standard design would go together much faster than the Delta Flyer. Just replicate the components and weld together as directed by the computer. Like LEGOs.

They had Neelix's ship in there the entire trip and the Flyer would have actually scraped the sides of the shuttle bay door on the way in/out. Yet you see it, the Baxial, and a few shuttle spaces at one point on an interior shot. In Enterprise, they joked with the explanation that in the future, the Federation has access to "subspace pocket" technology which allowed for things to be far bigger on the inside than on the outside. (Crewman Daniels' locker door hiding place.) But I digress, it's just a show and we should all really just relax.

It should be at NYC around 10:15am or so.

*Pats Hort's feathers and shines his beak*
There's nothing to worry about.
If there's a disgrunteled NYC'er or ticked off trekki lookng for a target, he will be it.
Besides if she's flying low, run out with a baseball bat and take a swipe at him.
Hope anyone in NYC is looking up.
Hopefully he will be on camera. :cool:
Unfortunately for me, I'm stuck at work with no view =/
Enterprise (1701) is named after Enterprise (NX-01), which is named after Enterprise (OV-101) which is named after Enterprise (1701)
:eek:
My head hurts
Best not to think about it :P
Indeed.
Now the Enterprise shall rest in her new home and be available to the public in July.
Well the odds of that happening was very low to be honest.
I just can't wait to visit the Intrepid again with the Enterprise on her deck.
Visitors will be able to walk under and over the Enterprise, no one allowed inside though; which is understandable.
HA, we're everywhere. That gave me a good laugh.
Indeed, most intriguing.
Well I hardly think of the Intrepid as a Giant Ameoba

lol I also thought of the TOS Intrepid before the Voyager Intrepid-class ship, which would probably be more appropriate:

Heh I see what you did there.
But the Little E will be on the flight deck mainly.

Congrats to those who saw her fly around the city first hand. :cool:
