[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] The NASA-style station isn't the much delayed ISS, not exactly. It is instead an earlier version usually called "Space Station Fred" - it came between the original even bigger Space Station Freedom and the downscaled Space Station Alpha, which was then modified into the one with Russian components, and is again being modified to compensate for the delays in delivery of the said components... So either Sisko is into building models of things that never really existed, of "experimental projects" and "preliminary designs" and the like (which is perfectly possible - I know of people who specialize in building aircraft-that-never-were). Or then the Trek timeline went straight to "SS Fred" and did not have to suffer all these delays and modifications. We already know that the space program of Trek was quite a bit different from ours: a military Saturn V launch in '68, six Voyager probes instead of two, DY-100 ships in the 1990s... So why not "SS Fred"? Another possibility: In Kirk's time, records from the 1990s were "sketchy". Perhaps Sisko is in the mistaken belief that this is what the ISS looked like.
