Who better than the cast of #StarTrek to greet Enterprise, the first space shuttle orbiter, when it rolled out of the Palmdale facility on this day in 1976? It *was* named after the starship from the award-winning tv-show, after all.

And then you see what they’re striking over and it’s always “management wants to replace the lowest paid employees with cyborgs”
