Space Trek

A Tumblr blog of images from the original Star Trek series showing "the quiet despair of the Starship Enterprise." An interesting collection of mostly uninhabited scenes (some with people unengaged with the viewer) that include many portals that connect to an unseen, inaccessible, or perhaps dangerous space beyond the confines of a space inhabited by us the viewers. Some of the despair comes from this lack of mobility, some from loneliness, and perhaps some from the sharp lighting on hard surfaces.

Something about the lack of detail in the ship makes the outer space it moves through seem more vast and the crew more vulnerable and alone. Is the craft defined by the territory it moves through, or does the territory define how we understand the ship?
