He's probably one of the Foundation Imaging guys who helped do the new sfx for TMP. He's probaby on the third "making of" feature on the dvd. And if any of you paid any attention to them, you'd notice that Mojo and Bonchune is there as well

Yes - Daren Dochterman's his name. I don't know if it's Pete Conrad the shuttle was named after.
As for why it's there in the first place, who knows? Per at least "The Menagerie", we can surmise that the TOS shuttle has some sort of limited warp capability.. I'm guessing that it's some sort of specialized longer-range shuttle (or perhaps with a contemporary warp sled left somewhere in orbit) that was used to courier someone from SB6 to Earth.

canonically base shuttles do have registries, beginning with a SB, SC or SD prefix [starbase, starfleet command and spacedock] (Janeway's shuttle in 'Endgame' was SC-4 and there have been many variations on SD inside spacedock, but im hardpressed to quote exactly. Im not sure if SB is real or im just saying it because i saw it here. Lookup time: was there any writing on the Verne (shuttle from Relay Station 47) in 'Aquiel'? the shuttle seen flying by Barclay's building (the SF comm center or whatever)?

The Verne had RS-47, as far as I know. Not sure about Barclays shuttle, but I suppose it had some sort of registry. As for the Dalkins or whatever it is called, I think we don't have any luck here. I just checked the scene. There isn't much you can see, we see the shuttle from behind heading towards the station. There is a registry painted on the hull, five digits, and the first number looks like 7. 74, maybe. I think it's the Cochrane, no even relabeled for that scene. 74656.

Yes. 'Shuttlecraft Dawkins to Jupiter Station', the first sentence. Or something very similar.

'Threshold', the type 9 or 12 or whatever you call the speedboat-class. That was the first appearance of the Cochrane. We never had a Type 6 on Voyager. And maybe you're cunfusing the episodes; 'Pathfinder' was the one where Troi visited Barclay because of his problems at work. He wanted to establish contact with MIDAS but no one believed it would work. 'Life Line' was the Jupiter station-episode.
Edit: Had to edit the title, sorry, confused it, too. 'Life Line' is the correct episode, 'Inside Man' was the Ferengi-nanoprobe show.
