A plastic model helped make a television spaceship possible. Giving Spock command of it proved more complicated.
Go behind the scenes of Star Trek’s The Galileo Seven: the AMT licensing bargain, Matt Jefferies’ rejected shuttle design, three separate Galileos, a miniature hangar with a troublesome wall, and Leonard Nimoy’s unexpected role in helping Don Marshall shape Lieutenant Boma.
Using production correspondence, surviving artwork and photographs, and participant recollections, Trek World explores how this first-season survival story was built—and why Nimoy remembered his experience so differently from his colleague.
Includes discussion of the episode’s ending.
