Well, we know that that one will eventually be transferred to Montana, and
some time after its 100th birthday will be used to launch the first
human-built warp drive vehicle...

I believe that was a Titan V or VI. Though it did look a lot like an older
Titan. :-)

So it looks like Cochrane built the Phoenix out of the Titan's second stage.
I still wanna know how he landed it.

It may well be that only the forward module returned to Earth as a
ballistic reentry vehicle- one identical to it was shown being used as a
space taxi in the "Enterprise" series pilot episode IIRC*. Somebody
commented on this here before; apparently the landing scene (however it
was done) was dropped from the movie due to time and budget constraints.

Trek universe, can't we? Cloaked Romulan space mines, my arse!

That was my thought as well.

Now that's a real shame. It would have been glorious! Err, something.

I wouldn't trust that series to provide background noise for a slow thursday
afternoon.
