Filming the Aquashuttle

It's the year 1970, but a bit different than the way we know it. After a successful write-in campaign, Star Trek is renewed for a fourth season. With an expanded budget thanks to a viewership hooked on advancements of real-life space exploration (Apollo 13's successful moon landing in April and the Venus fly-around mission announced last year helped a lot), all-new effect shots could be made. This included the multi-purpouse Aquashuttle, whose filming was captured in this old photo I managed to dig up from the vaults.



If only, if only...
