I adore George Takei, his sense of history and his funny stories. "The Enterprise family" -- how adorable! And of course his story of Leonard being Leonard-- priceless!
Wonderful video! So great to hear how the space program was being influenced by star trek and star trek fans. George Takei told the story very well. Thank you so much for uploading!
Classy as always, Mr. Takei.

Great story; I remember when the ship was rolled out and seeing the name on the side. Very cool.

WOW, I didn't know the Space Shuttle Enteprise was unveiled at Mojave at Edwards Air Force Base!
That's right next to where I live today! (Granted I'm 30+ years too young to have been alive for that, but neat to know...)
Go Space Shuttle and Starships Enterprise!
And let's get another space program going, folks! Come on...we NEED that new space ship design and program...
And when it gets made someday...WHAT is going to be the name of that ship?
HAS to be...ENTERPRISE!

Oh Mr. Nimoy.... he certainly is something else. XD
I want to see that speech SOOO bad now. It's probably been recorded somewhere, it was a really important event after all...
