"Eugene “Rod” Roddenberry, CEO of Roddenberry Entertainment, said he's thrilled to have the model that had graced the desk of his father, who died in 1991 at age 70."

A 3ft model. He kept it on his desk? How big was his desk? lol

@sdifox - Messr Shatner has some hard feelings about the show I take it. IDK about Billy doing much stomping. He's like, 94 or something. That man is going to make it to 120, and if he can do it, anyone can.

Very cool. Congrats.

I have what's called a "Star Trek Rocket Plane." SMH. It has nothing to do with the show except the name. Naked pandering to the fan base. I wouldn't feel bad were it actually worth something.
