Mon Mar 08, 2004 5:23 pm Enterprise-Opening Sequence (Plz Read)(Good Post Made By Me) |
|
Heres somethin u didnt know about the Opening Sequence of Enterprise.
If u all can recall the beginning of enterprise. Well I did some research of the begining of it. Well I'll tell u somethings I noticed in the beginning.
You see the earth in the beginning. The Movie and the music beginnings at this time.
At this time u will see earth again and u can recall that it shown Enterprise as the title and in season 3 u would have seen Star Trek Enterprise.
This is map which is ancient map of the earth where they show the 12 signs of the zodiac. Each of them show each constellation which it was named. Also the history of the exploration, zodiac shown a serious attempt of the understanding of the works of the cosmos. It also meant the science and astronomy and the early study of the stars.
An early map showing our Solar System as heliocentric (with the Sun at its center) superimposed over a sunset.
The ancient Polynesians were among the first peoples to explore the open sea using the stars, winds and currents for navigation. With nature as their guide, the Polynesians used rafts like this and outrigger canoes to cross incredible distances
The next image represents the many English sailing ships that bore the name Enterprize (and later Enterprise) in the 18th and 19th centuries.
The credit for Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry appears over an image that combines the sailing ship on the horizon and a stylized view of the Space Shuttle's desert landing strip.
Exploration rose to a whole new level when adventurers first took to the skies in hot-air balloons.
Mechanical drawings of a Mercury Redstone rocket overlay this footage. The Mercury program put the first Americans in space in 1961.
Charles Lindbergh piloted the Spirit of St. Louis in the first solo flight across the Atlantic in 1927. The footage is from his landing in Paris, 33 hours after leaving New York.
Later, Lindbergh was instrumental in securing funding for Robert Goddard's pivotal work in rocket propulsion.
Series star Scott Bakula's ("Archer") credit appears with the prototype space shuttle named "Enterprise." The shuttle was given this name in 1976 after Star Trek fans sent over 400,000 letters to NASA.
Pioneering aviatrix Amelia Earhart flew solo across the Atlantic in 1932.
The Wright brothers, Orville and Wilbur, made the first powered flight at Kitty Hawk, North Carolina on December 17, 1903.
This the first appears with the Bell X-1 Glamorous Glennis. Captain Charles "Chuck" Yeager flew the X-1 and first broke the sound barrier (700 mph) on October 14, 1947. He is shown later in the sequence.
Also superimposed over this image are Leonardo da Vinci's "flying machine" sketches and notes.
It may not be space, but another area of exploration takes place under the seas: Earth's oceans cover three-fourths of the total surface area. Exploration of the vast areas under the sea was made possible by sophisticated underwater craft like this personal submarine
Astronauts from the Apollo program (1967-1972) made nine trips to the Moon, including six landings.
The next image in the sequence is Alan Shepard, shown in preparation for his Apollo 14 mission to the Moon. Shepard was the first American in space, riding his Mercury Redstone rocket on a 15-minute sub-orbital flight on May 5, 1961
The credit starts off with a shot of the business end of a space shuttle orbiter a mere 6.5 seconds before liftoff.
The Saturn V rocket, here lifting off as the tower arms swing out of the way, carried Apollo astronauts from Earth to the Moon. The most powerful vehicle ever built, its five first-stage engines generated over 160 million horsepower to lift its 6 million pounds.
More da Vinci flight mechanism drawings are superimposed here as well.
This fish-eye view from the launch tower shows a Space Shuttle at liftoff.
First launched in 1981, the Space Shuttle delivered dozens of astronauts, hundreds of experiments, and thousands of pounds of equipment into Earth orbit in nearly one hundred successful missions. The Shuttle is a key component in the construction of the International Space Station.
This view represents the mid-deck of a Space Shuttle, showing astronauts experiencing the exhilaration and intense g-forces of liftoff.
Another Saturn V rocket in flight, over the blackboard of legendary rocketry pioneer and visionary Robert Goddard.
As it climbs into orbit, the Saturn V rocket discards its spent stages. The first stage has long since gone, and in this image the interstage separator that encloses the second-stage engines is headed for a fiery disintegration in the atmosphere
A Space Shuttle astronaut performing an Extra Vehicular Activity (EVA). Protected by an EVA suit, the astronaut is working in the Shuttle's open payload bay. Shuttle crews have elevated this activity to an almost commonplace event.
Edwin "Buzz" Aldrin left this footprint on the Moon during the Apollo 11 mission in July 1969.
Neil Armstrong was the mission commander for this first mission, and was the first man to set foot on the lunar surface. Over the next three years, ten more astronauts would explore the Moon's rocky terrain.
An Apollo Lunar Excursion Module (LEM) descends toward the Moon's surface, as seen from the Command Module which remains in orbit.
Early astronomical documents about solar and lunar eclipses are also visible in this image
After landing on Mars on July 4, 1997, the Pathfinder spacecraft released the Mars-rover vehicle Sojourner to explore the surface.
The six-wheeled, 25-pound robotic explorer got its name after a year-long essay contest involving students around the world. After a seven-month flight from Earth, the rover and Pathfinder craft returned more than 16,000 Martian surface images
Another view of a Space Shuttle astronaut on EVA serves as the backdrop.
This animation simulates the construction of the International Space Station, now underway in orbit over 200 miles above the Earth.
Image of a hypersonic spaceplane dropping out of orbit towards an Earth landing
Zefram Cochrane's Phoenix was the first warp-capable human vessel.
Another view of the Phoenix as it prepares to go to warp.
After Phoenix, subsequent starships attained higher warp speeds and extended man's reach even further into our galaxy.
This ship, flying over an Earth colony, represents humanity's continuing expansion beyond our home planet.
Our first sighting of the Enterprise NX-01, the vessel commanded by Captain Jonathan Archer.
As Enterprise NX-01 leaves Earth orbit, she passes by so we can get a better look.
Series creators and executive producers Rick Berman and Brannon Braga are credited in this final sequence. Enterprise goes to warp, in a signature move we've seen in two previous Star Trek series. Fade to black.
As u can see u can see the actor's and the actress's names that play in the show. So u know that i didnt metion them with the pic. In each pic shows the past, the present and the future. I just wanted to point to u guys the history of everyone. So plz tell me what u think of it.
Also courteous of startrek.com.
Post here what u think of it and do the poll as well.

They're all on startrek.com .. so it would be a matter of copy and paste the link address.
It's a nice post. I looked at it all on startrek.com the other day though.

Sorry, but taking credit for other peoples work it not what I call a "good job". But that's probably just me, since everyone posting here keep telling you what a wonderful work you did, Connor. Yeah, I'm sure you were doing a GREAT job with the CTRL + C thing through out the whole thing.
And what's up with the topic? "Enterprise-Opening Sequence (Plz Read)(Good Post Made By Me)"
Pathetic.

It seems like the writers really made an effort to look into our real history first in order to make a cool intro.
