Is it shuttle recovery doors?<p>Nice to see so much of the shuttle hindquarters dedicated to engines. More realistic that way.

There are no doors or greebling at all in that cutout. Just a light bulb and some yellow stripes. I don't think the original TV Guide/USA Today picture showed anything there either. So we don't know what the heck those do either.<p>Also, as much as I was a fan of the rusty-beige color of the hull from the TV Guide/USA Today picture, I'm glad the color of the hull has reverted back to a tradition shade of gray.

I particularly like the "paratrooper" scene. Archer's so-called "<i>Matrix</i>-style" phaser dodge is pretty cool, too. I'm also very impressed with seeing the ship in motion in the "five-day" countdown promo.
