Trekkie Built Starship Enterprise Star Trek Apartment

via inthralld.com

Star Trek Mega Fan and UK resident, Tony Alleyne is likely one of the only people to have the self proclaimed title of “24th Century Interior Designer,” but his title ring true when you see what he did with his previous home.

From the looks of it, he succeeded– even though it’s likely that these interior spaces would be more fit for a robot of some sort. The kitchen is a tiny space that glows and appears to be hardly ADA compliant– but an interesting space nevertheless. His design motto is “bliss is living without wires” and that’s certainly the case with his sci-fi space.

via theweek.com

If Elon Musk's space exploration company SpaceX is any indication, the future of space travel is in the hands of people with big imaginations. And nobody's vision is quite as ambitious as one engineer who has outlined an elaborate plan to build Star Trek's USS Enterprise, which he says could be ready to fly within the next 20 years.
