That starbase design was outstanding. I always remember being so disappointed that it never appeared again after early season TNG.

This scene looked absolutely fantastic on the blu-ray remasters. The models still hold up and look absolutely convincing.

My two favorite Enterprises. Beautiful.

Something those movies captured was a sense of size and magnificence with the ships. With the recent Star Trek we haven't had that same sense of awe.

[MarkLatimerRussell]

This is super cool. Thanks for sharing!

Judging by the footage @0:26, it does look like the enterprise-b could indeed credibly go through the spacedock doors without them having to be widened.

[Phil-D]

The tng spacedock had to be about 5x larger to accomodate the galaxy class

[Swiftbow]

As always in Hollywood, the moon is ridiculously large/close in both versions, lol.

What I never liked about the Kelvin timeline of Star Trek. It only seems that enterprise was the only ship out there to help rescue earth or the Federation. The TOS, explain why the enterprise and her crew were always available. Because they were away from the action or far from whatever adversary was affecting the Federation. But with the Kelvin timeline: you have a ship ( in fact two different ones) falling from orbit. Our primitive technology has the ability to track asteroids, UFOs, etc.

Yet the federation has no radar? No on going sensors to secure the sector 001. You would think something as large as the USS Enterprise (2380 feet long) let alone the USS Vengeance (possibly twice the size of Enterprise) could not be seen with the naked eye. I mean if we can see a Boeing 747-8 (250 feet), how isn’t a starship that size can’t be seen? In Star Trek 2, you see the enterprise falling from the sky and passing through nimbostratus cloud cover which is approximately at 13k -23k feet.

The whole reason why Star Trek seems to be accepted by many scientific community, is because of the believability. Granted they do take some far-fetched ideas. But think about the last Star Trek movie, they used sound waves to destroy the enemy. Space is a vacuum, sound waves need air to travel. Any way, I digress. Pardon for my banter.

Were the door going into the starbase más bigger so the enterprise D could go through?

[MartinFarrell]

Gonna sound like a geek but Enterprise D should be too big for the doors

[Johnwick-jouo]

Quick question how can the original Starbase 1 hold the new enterpise d because of how big it is because in this video it appears as if Starbase 1 is the same size as last time?
