Star Trek (Original Series) Shuttlecraft

The full-size "Galileo" shuttlecraft film prop from the original Star Trek series had been on display at Space Center Houston, but was removed when new management felt that it didn't fit their mission statement of real-world space exploration. On November 4, 2022, it was announced that the prop will be moved to Ticonderoga, New York, where it will be on long-term display at the Star Trek Original Series Set Tour attraction.

Visited the Space Center in mid-May. The shuttlecraft hasn't been there for a couple of years, the docents say. They didn't know where it went.
