  I reckon having the first one named Enterprise is the best way, but it is a pity it never went to space.

  It is funny tho, that when the shuttle was wheeled out of the hangar, they didn't play the Star Spangled Baner, Or God Bless America, no, they played the Theme to Star Trek, hahahaha

  Here's some trivia for you: That shuttle was supposed to be named Columbia. The first spaceworthy one was supposed to be the Enterprise, but there was some confusion over which was which in the general population and a write in campaign caused the names to be switched.
  
  D'oh!
