Beautiful Star Trek Starships

Positively Trek 278: Beautiful Star Trek Starships

Our Favorites, and the People who Designed Them

Over the past 58 years, Star Trek has presented us with a gorgeous vision of the future. A huge part of that Trek aesthetic is the design of the starships that carry their crews boldly to the stars. From the very beginning with Matt Jefferies’ iconic design of the U.S.S. Enterprise, every starship that has come after has carried on the legacy of his original work of art.

In this episode of Positively Trek, hosts Barry and Dan discuss the starships of Star Trek. We talk about our favorite designs, as well as the people whose hard work went into bringing them to life on our screens. We also discuss other modes of transportation within the Star Trek universe, and expand our discussion to ships of other notable franchises.
