[QUOTE]Originally posted by Timo: [QB] To be completely accurate, the station in Sisko's office was the old Freedom, the one that got away. And the odds are that the ISS will not end up looking much like the station depicted in the opening credits, either, not if the cuts continue at the current pace (the auxiliary solar panel arm atop the Russian section is already wrong - only half of it will ever be built). I think that the easiest way to "completely preserve continuity" would be to say that both the Freedom and the as-planned-ISS got built in the Trek universe, even if not in ours. A few dozen other such stations may also have been built, before the DY-100-level tech appeared. In the Trek world, the stations got built early on, perhaps in the eighties, using a larger shuttle fleet that perhaps included a spacegoing Enterprise. The second way would be to say that the Freedom in the office really is the ISS and only one station got built and our eyes are not working properly and we have to contact a licensed repairman. The third way would be to regard the CGI of the ISS as just that, a piece of art, much like the piece of parchment with HMS Enterprize on it, or the page from Leonardo's doodlebook. It need not describe a "real" object at all. Timo Saloniemi [/QB][/QUOTE]
