'Star Trek' Galileo Shuttlecraft - How It Was Restored To Flight Status 

I almost cried. Very emotional moment in history! First shuttle craft in Sci-fi? Wonderful. Many Brazilians love Galileo, too! 💕

I've seen someone restore the DeLorean from Back to the Future, I saw someone restore the K.I.T.T. 1982 Pontiac Trans Am from Knight Rider, and now this. This shuttle's restoration is as much of a labor of love as the other two projects. I have to say they did well restoring this prop back to it's full glory. :D

I watched the Star Trek series as an elementary school kid when originally broadcast. The restoration of the shuttle is a nice thing for us old fans of the series

beautiful work! somehow it makes me happy to know this little part of my childhood has been restored.

Adam Schneider, thank you for restoring her! Your team’s very expensive labor of love will inspire the next gen and brings back great memories for us old farts!

It’s Awesome that some people can still appreciate a classic like this, Bravo....

One of the most awesome restorations ever. Thank you guys. I love this work.

What an amazing project! The ultimate tribute to our favorite Shuttlecraft..

I am just so pleased with this rebuild restoring such a iconic prop from my youth. As with others the star trek series inspired me and my love of science especially science. I am very happy that this piece of history will now be cared for in a proper setting so that young people may see it and the show and it will inspire them. Thank you again.

So glad to see this prop restored, and made publicly available. Thanks for sharing this.

It truly does belong in a museum. Great job guys. Thank you

amazing... this brought tears to my eyes.

Seeing the Star Trek scenes with Galileo just made me feel good. Great memories. 👍

When I was a kid, I used to walk by this everyday going to school when it was at the Foundation for the Jr. Blind in Los Angeles, in the 60's. Used to wonder why it was there since the kids were blind. Still, it was cool to look at and I wanted to get in it but it was fenced in. Memories.

I visited Space Center Houston last year and had no idea it was there. I was eating in the cafeteria and saw the shuttlecraft sitting in the back corner.

Those guys are awesome. Thank you Master Shipwrights!

This is awesome huge Star Trek fan ☺️🎥😇😊😎📼👾🎞

They did it!! It was such a sad mess in the pre-restoration videos. I'm so happy about this!! Congrats, guys, on a job well done!!

Someone explain the 'normalize' audio function to the narrator. Holy crap, blowing my eardrums between interviews and narration.

This is great. I would like to see one actually fly. For now, this is an inspiring relic. RIP to the crew members who have passed on to the far reaches of the galaxy. Live long and prosper.

I just now read in the "Comments" that the Shuttle is no longer on display at Johnson because the COO didn't think it "fits". I'm retired and have visited ALL the major A&S centers/museums in this country and spent 3 days at Kennedy SFC a few weeks before visiting Johnson in December 2017. EXCEPT for the Space Shuttle mounted on the Boeing 747 carrier and a Saturn V rocket, Johnson was a TOTAL disappointment. I do not recommend it. They did not even acknowledge the existence of SpaceX and offered no SpaceX items for sale in their gift shop. Fortunately I had bought a number of SpaceX shirts and other items at Kennedy SFC for Christmas presents when there. The Startrek Shuttle MUST go where it will be appreciated. Johnson does not deserve it. My #1 recommendation is the Smithsonian at Dullas Airport near DC where they are now carefully restoring the Enterprise scale model used for the TV show and movies.

My favorite story about STAR TREK is when I first met Scott Carpenter, Mercury Astronaut we were at a Black Tie event backstage and as I walked up to greet him he was watching a wall monitor playing an original series STAR TREK episode. As we chatted he said "I LOVE this show" and I said "You Are Responsible For That Show" and we all laughed knowing.

Before the restoration, it was lucky it wasn't hauled away AS garbage!

I heard it was infested with tribbles

Yeah a Star Trek fan club in my city got it in the newspapers and TV made a big deal about it, and hid it from everybody and nothing ever became of it and now I see this! I'm glad!!

KUDOS! to everyone involved in the effort to restore this artifact! May it inspire others to dream of the possibilities of exploration and understanding our world and universe!

I'm working on an AMT model kit of this shuttle right now. The kit is woefully inaccurate out of the box. But thankfully there is an upgrade kit for the AMT Galileo that makes it more accurate. I'm looking forward to the results.

Too cool. It's amazing it was saved in time. A real sci-fi icon.

Thank you for that Herculean effort! So cool of all involved! I'm glad it still exists!

What a wonderful story, what a patient and loving wife to let her husband to do this.

:3 You guys have done Gene Roddenberry and Matt Jefferies proud by giving the Galileo Shuttlecraft the restoration it rightfully deserves ^_^ Gentlemen i salute you and say from one trek fan to a bunch of trek fans on behalf of the entire Trek fandom. Well Done :3.

I saw one of these sitting off the road for many years in Calabasas California near Woodland Hills in the mid 80s nice to see it restored

Brilliant👍🏼 You have got to love people like this.

So glad this was saved.

People come together common love of something and saved it. Thank you

very aspirational, and very generous of the schneider’s to save this piece of the way humans dream about their future.

What a beautiful work of love and inspiration for the future fans and those who dream! Grea restoration

Thank You very Much, you all did a Great Job

What a fantastic job.. So glad they're People like these women and men to preserve such items..

I've got the Galileo as a Christmas ornament. Last time I check the voice of Spock still worked.

I love this! God Bless the restorers! Thank You!

You people have done a wonderful job, thank you..

I remember following its repair a few years back. They posted a bulletin every week or few days. I can't remember how it was done now, I think it was on a website not YT or any sort of social media.

Not all Heros wear capes.

Thank you for saving an icon!!

Labor of love. Great job!

THIS IS BEYOND AWESOME...TY!!!🖖🖖

Awesome to see it restored. Is Disney still hiding that Millennium Falcon over in the UK?

Great to see it in it's restored condition... gonna have to see this in Houston IRL some time

I'm a Trekkie from way back. God bless these people.... live long and prosper!

Awesome project!.. well done👍

8:22 "... and it had a hopeful vision of human nature, or how human nature might improve in the future." Yes!!!

great job!!!! going to build the new model kit!!!!

Thank you from Trekkies everywhere for saving this valuable piece of modern culture.

Amazing work.

Love the work and trekkie spirit!!

Amazing! :D thanks for share it

Fantastic remodel!

@ 5:58 I like how they focused the camera upon a blemish in the paint job about the size of a silver dollar on one of the engine nacelles.

They did it! Those magnificent bastards did it! Thanks for bringing back to life some fond memories. Nice job btw.

Awesome, well done!!!

Glad this was saved! The audio levels on the documentary are extremely off.

Nice work..A+

It was at Space Center Houston, I saw it first at Astronaut Gallery, then it got moved to the food court (Zero G Diner), and the last time I saw it was at the warehouse next to the employee parking lot.

A happy story and an inspiring video but they should have gotten Uhura to handle the sound mixing and volume level control.

Well done!!

Great contribution and craftsmanship. Curiously, the video doesn’t show the interior which I assume was also restored.

Very nice to see it was restored. Live long and prosper.

Like the Tardis, the shuttle is larger inside than out. Spock has an extra foot of head clearance in Galileo 7, but this fellow must stoop over when viewed from the outside.

Nice job, and as a matter of interest what maximum speed did the Galileo have in open space? And what sort of range did it have to reach planets and make it back to the Enterprise? And how long before the power and onboard food, water and oxygen depleted?

WHAT A GREAT VIDEO.

Nice to see the effort put into restoring it (easily a 9 out of 10) but let us know when it actually does get put into flight status.

wow..this was historical for me to watch!!!!

Very cool!

good job, congratulations

I'm happy that this, the 11ft ENTERPRISE model & the Klingon battle cruiser model survived the Hollywood dumpster🖖...but the Enterprise 3ft model is still missing though😢

awesome piece of film history saved

I spent an entire day (opening to closing) at Houston SFC in December 2017 and did not see the Startrak Shuttle exhibit. Is it still there? If so, where? I may return just to see it. I thought I had seen everything.

Very nice video! One problem, though - whomever edited the video REALLY needed to do a better job of balancing the volume of the individual video segments!!

This used to sit in front of my house when it was owned by a prior owner. Search "palos verdes Galileo".

É bom rever este veículo espacial senti saudades do velho e bom seriado antigo.😀👍👍👍 Abraço

I liked that shuttlecraft! Can someone help me as to why they used the shuttlecraft instead of beaming down?

Very cool. I salute your Trek power

She's beautiful!!

They talk and talk about in this video but don;t really show it or elaborate on details of it.

Thank you.for what all you do to all that do.it

Great job!! 🇺🇸

Live long and prosper Galileo!

Would have love to have been there. Now I'm going to have to go to Houston to see it.

How it was restored to flight status, if it were made in Britain "Well, we just got some new cardboard boxes, painted them white and then had a tea break" ;+}

AWESOME JOB. LITTLE DO PEOPLE KNOW THAT GENE WINFIELD IS A CAR GUY, A HOT ROD BUILDER...WOW. MOPAR 4 EVER.

Beautiful

kudoes to you, guys!!!

Can't believe the one and only Gene Winfield, custom car builder was responsible for the design n build of the shuttle Craft.

I have seen it in person!

Love this ❤️🤓👍

Mr. Matt Jeffery, saludos desde los confinamientos del espacio, nos veremos!!!!!

Well done.✌🖖👍

A shame that Matt Jeffries, who designed *all* the models and sets for the original series, never got a penny of the royalties from the sales of model kits, posters, etc., while Desilu, then Paramount, raked in millions.

In 1975 television commercials with a man saying by the year 2000 we would be having space travel.
