That sounds like a non working version, I've never heard of it.
Incidentally and at the risk of waking a sleeping giant, there was a
dramatisation of the Challenger enquiry on tv in the UK last night. BBC2.
Seems to have some link up with the open University and some talk about
management and stuff like that.

They're talking about the full-scale Shuttlecraft Galileo from the
1960s television series "Star Trek". It has been sitting in a
junkyard, where it was dumped after being sold off by Paramount when
production of "Star Trek" ended in 1969. Galileo had been the subject
of several "whatever happened to..." and "where is it now?" news
stories over the years, and the owner finally sold it at auction last
year. It was in very bad condition, based on previous news stories
about it, but is being refubished to its original condition.

The Shuttlecraft was a small seven-person vehicle capable of traveling
between the USS Enterprise and a planet's surface. It first appeared
in the episode "The Galileo Seven". A different set was used for
filming scenes inside the Shuttlecraft.
