Enterprise smackdown

The Enterprise, registry number NCC-1701, was from the original Star Trek TV series. Registry number NCC-1701-A was from the movies Star Trek IV, Star Trek V and Star Trek VI. A panel at Comic-Con (San Diego - 2012) debated the relative merits of 12 spaceships in different science fiction franchises and decided that these two ships were the best. But pick one? Physicist Neil deGrasse Tyson rose to make the case for the NCC-1701.
