Just opened today, Startrek.com has a tour of the new NX-01. It includes blueprints, cutaways, 3D Spin-Arounds of multiple areas of the ship, plus some information we never knew...

Oh, and we get our first pic of the Enterprise dedication plaque. It simply says:
ENTERPRISE
SPACECRAFT NUMBER NX-01 JOHNATHAN ARCHER, COMMANDER
Then there is a long list of names, unable to be read
"...To boldly go where no human has gone before!"

The more I look at the pic of it, I'm undecided if it says "man" or "human"...

Definitely "where no man". No doubt about it.
One wonders if it was an engraver (who didn't attend the Tim Nix Memorial Institute for Grammatical Excellence) that screwed up the line from Cochrane's speech and split the infinitive, leading to decades of incorrect plaques.

Thank GOD it doesn't say "Starship Class". Thus it's not actually a STARSHIP Enterprise... I guess that exempts it from the "No bloody A, B, C or D" etc.?

One would think so, yes. Of course those who dislike the ship any way, wont care about what the plaque says.
By the way does anybody feel that "spacecraft" sounds too small? I mean spaceship sounds better and fits with the system that they reffered to in TOS? I.e. The captain warning the roman analogue that Kirk was a Starship captain as oposed to being a Spaceship captain and as such so more brave resourceful etcera.

It seems like that no one has a clue as to what all those exterior greeblies are. The pod is probably where the impulse tech is, with some PTCs going to all the impulse engines. So it really is a movie-style impulse crystal thing up there..
What a stupid place for Engineering, though. I bet it didn't take long for them to come up with the idea of a separate engineering hull.. There seems to be no traditional computer core in this ship, unless it's that tiny thing just above the lower dome (what we used to call a sensor dome).
These Virtual Tours are cool! I love the Sickbay set with the scanner and the TOS-like grate decorations.
Anyone has an idea what the strange measurements in the top view are about?

BTW Bernd, your side view (and the topview sample from UP3 we saw) from a while back are amazingly accurate.. are you sure you arent working on the show ;-)
it seems to indicate the top view is more than 225m, unless they dropped the lines funny. What were they measuring?

Maybe it is.
What's with that funky little interdecking between D & E? Is that where the Plot Drive resides?

I think the lines are just goofy on the schematic, and Enterprise is 225 meters as has been independently confimed. Look at those ridiculous deck lines at the front of the top view... the illustrator was sloppy.
