Oh, and that "um, Enterprise?" thing was an ever-so-subtle joke. For the purposes (and acceptable rounding errors) of the exercise, it fit. I was sort of taking a friendly swing at the concept of Enterprise as a landmark. Trying to subconsciously introduce a joke into the minds of the readers along the lines of "oh yeah, that show was a disaster! What a landmark! Ha ha ha!"
