Original – "Shuttle Enterprise rolls out of the Palmdale manufacturing facilities with Star Trek television cast members. From left to right they are: Dr. James C. Fletcher (NASA Administrator), DeForest Kelley (Dr. "Bones" McCoy), George Takei (Mr. Sulu), James Doohan (Chief Engineer Montgomery "Scotty" Scott), Nichelle Nichols (Lt. Uhura), Leonard Nimoy (the indefatigable Mr. Spock), Gene Roddenberry (The Great Bird of the Galaxy), an unnamed official (probably from the NASA), and Walter Koenig (Ensign Pavel Chekov)."

Reason: Excellent illustration for the article Cultural influence of Star Trek, already featured on Commons. The shuttle was originally to be named Constitution, but a letter-writing campaign of from Star Trek fans consisting of "hundreds of thousands of letters" petitioned for name to be changed in honor of Star Trek's USS Enterprise (NCC-1701). For a science fiction entertainment franchise and cultural phenomenon to have such influence over a real-world political decision is notable.
