I like the weary face expression of Deanna* at "Begin ignition sequence", referring to some hangover, and with the feeling on it by: Just get over this already! :D

[manuelalvarado]

The counselor got an earful of '60s rock and roll when it blared over her headset.

[Prisoner_]

Glad we finally got to hear some Rock and Roll on Star Trek. Most of Star Trek all we heard was Jazz, Blues, Opera and Classical music.

[CaptainBardiel]

History records that Dr. Zefram Cochrane, Commander William T. Riker (USN), and Lt. Commander Geordi La Forge (USN) were on the Phoenix.

[Rebel.s]

I come here after every Starship IFT launch. It's just the same ... :D

[pheenix]

I remember this in the theater -- all I'd seen was the rocket before, and then the panels blew off and the warp nacelles extended.

Oh yeah.😁

[letsplaylucas]

"let's bring the warp core online." Riker just clicks a small trigger, in the F***ing FIRST WARP SHIP

[NickFleming]

Jonathan Frakes both starred and directed this movie.

[Azurek]

Frakes has the best "this is gonna suck" face

[harlemsfinest]

Man this scene does wonders for my morale

[danielwalker]

Imagine one day you are sitting in a bar and all of a sudden that crazy doctor guy launches a rocket out of the ground. The. That night some weird pointy ear people land in a space ship. Would be an awesome time to be alive.

[Duelinator]

Can’t lead on a historical moment without “the classics”

[suzanneroberge]

Love that they kept the traditional nacelle design

[TheGreatGooglyMoogly]

If i ever get the chance to go into space, I'm definitely playing this song.

[MrArcadia]

To be fair, I do live that song. I wasn't alive during that time, yet I still enjoy it.

[Lorijenken]

if I ever go to space im yelling this and playing that song XD

[andresmauricioPinillaRincon]

I have been working in the exact sciences for years. I am now 50 years old. I would like to make this great step for all of humanity a reality and understand that we are not alone in this creation. Although I have health problems, I will continue with these studies to see what can really be achieved

[Arcturus]

Considering that there's usually a 3 mile minimum distance from a launch, to keep from killing people from the noise, I wonder how much more advanced these rockets were to be able to be that close to the settlement when launching...

But yes, I know.... Suspension of disbelief...

[mchawk]

If I hadn't already loved this song this movie solidified it.

[Ama-hikn]

Making first contact with a Titan II ICBM.
