(Yes, of course I know that's not the Enterprise-D and that TNG came out in 1986, but you try making a better debunking joke.)

Are you kidding me? Lemmy is way too contentious to encourage me to do that - I am leaving posting to the professionals like you!
I believe in you. If you fill yourself with determination, you too can use comedy to challenge people and also complain about those people canceling you loudly on NBC.
To be fair star trek was impressive for the time
Most of the time anyway...
In my opinion the rough edges give the show charm and character, theres a certain magic to imperfection
TNG came out in 1987. I sure hope someone got fired for that blunder.
I saw a rebuttal that said the special effects at the time couldn't have faked it.
On the other hand, do you know one of the companies that supposedly made the Saturn-V?
Boeing.
At least their build quality was generally good back then. I wouldn't trust them to build a Saturn V today.
Arguably their quality contributed to them being allowed to effictively oversee themselves. Did it save some time and red tape at the time? Yes. Did it eventually lead to hundreds of deaths? Also yes.
So what? SEGA made the first Saturn, and they're still... around... uh
It looks fine on a CRT at 480i
Yeah, but think about what the GOVERNMENT could afford! They were SUPER rich back then!
You appear to follow the Vulcan philosophy of IDIC: I Debunk Idiotic Claims.
I dick? Isn’t that Kirk and Rikers philosophy.

But that's a low-budget show. The Apollo Program had billions to invest in VFX.
