While I was eating my Kraft Dinner [TM] I thought I would put together a photo set of the shuttlecraft "Galileo" prop from
Star Trek (in series with yesterday's blog posting
here). I concluded with a optical shot from "The Immunity Syndrome", and although it's not specifically of the studio prop, I included it since the image struck me as being rather vivid.
I was leafing through my book "Star Trek Creator" (by David Alexander) and found something I remember reading years ago: The "Galileo" prop was estimated at $24,000 to construct and was reported as coming in at about $65,000. (Wow; you could buy a house for 15-20 grand back in 1966.)

Wow, they sure could land that puppy in the tightest spots...
When pulling those pics I thought the same thing; in the case of "The Galileo Seven", at least. That was covered in the script, if I remember correctly. (It's been years since I've seen those things.)
I had forgotten that in "The Way to Eden", it's actually Galileo II. Thanks, Matt Decker (?).
I just remembered that the shuttlecraft Galileo was incinerated at the end of "The Galileo Seven". It has been a long time....
