Adam Schneider . As stated above , Adam Louis Schneider is a noted American " Star Trek " memorabilia collector , the actual production - used studio models in particular . Growing up in the 1960s , he became a first - generation fan of the " Original Series " during its original run . A science fiction fan ever since , he never actively acted upon it until 2006 , when Christie ' s " 40 Years of Star Trek : The Collection " came up in his own stumping grounds , New York City . " " One day I read about an upcoming sale at Christie ' s auction house in New York , " " he has stated , " " They were putting up a thousand lots of " Star Trek " items so I went to take a look . " " As he walked into the showroom , the first thing he saw was the eight - foot model of the Starship " Enterprise " – the one used in the , prompting his first thought , " " Oh my gosh , that ' s the actual thing " , " having additionally stated in the documentary , " " I was going to have one of those , even if it killed me . . . " " He subsequently made more than good on his vow , acquiring over two dozen of them in this and the subsequent " It ' s A Wrap ! sale and auction " s , a bit to the dismay of his wife Leslie , who sighed in the documentary , " " I ' m definitely a " Star Trek " enabler ! " " In the process , he became the " the guy who collects the models . " Yet , Schneider ' s national " Star Trek " renown however , came to him when he acquired the " Original Series " full - scale " Galileo " shuttlecraft mock - up at Kiko Auctioneers ' as Lot 2030 for US $ 61 , 000 ( $ 70 , 150 including buyer ' s premium ) on . Together with another noted collector , Alec Peters of Propworx , a non - profit foundation , " The Galileo Restoration " , was initiated , whose intent it was to have had the craft fully restored in time for the 50th Anniversary of " Star Trek " , the cost of which being estimated in excess of US $ 100 , 000 . ( It should be noted that another Star Trek collector , Don Hillenbrand , helped Schneider acquire the Galileo by supplying him with exclusive photos and a first - hand account of the item ' s overall condition . Schneider has never publicly acknowledged this assistance which he called " priceless " at the time . ) Several activities were organized to raise awareness and funding ( though both Schneider and Peters eventually decided to front the funding themselves , in order not to slow down the restoration ) , receiving backing from former " Star Trek " staffers like Doug Drexler , Mike Okuda , and Daren Dochterman , and including the inception of an official website , " " galileorestoration . com " " , a dedicated , the publication of several progress videos on YouTube ( including the professionally made 2013 documentary " Galileo Restoration Project " ) , and attendances as the " Galileo Restoration Panel " at conventions , like the " Las Vegas " Star Trek " Convention " of 10 August 2012 , the latter of which original builder Gene Winfield was more than happy to lent his presence and support to . Restoration of the mock - up did not encounter as nearly as much of the problems and setbacks , previous restoration attempts had . A team of craftsmen at Master Shipwrights , Inc . , in Atlantic Highlands , New Jersey , headed by supervisor Hans Mikatis , completed the project in June 2013 , unveiling the final result on the 22nd to initiators and fans . As stated , all efforts were funded by Schneider himself . Acutely aware that he personally did not have any space to store the shuttlecraft himself , the intent has always been to have it safeguarded for posterity at a public domain , which was eventually found at the Lyndon B . Johnson Space Center . Basking in the afterglow of his renowned " Galileo " project , Schneider was in November 2014 invited to become a part as consultant of a team of experts – which included a host of former " Star Trek " alumni – to oversee a new restoration of the original eleven - foot " Enterprise " studio model , residing at the Smithsonian ' s ( NASM ) , for its 50th anniversary . Having accepted the prestigious assignment , Schneider was flown in in May 2015 for the team ' s first work meeting on 13 May . Additionally , Schneider occasionally provides services to Ben Robinson , project manager of the British " " partwork publication , by providing him with newly taken photographs of his holdings for publication in the " Collection " and its , becoming one of the very few people , actually receiving a printed photo credit in issue SP1 ( p . 13 ) . Save for the editor ( s ) - in - chief , British partwork publications typically do not list editorial staff credits . A graduate from both Columbia University , in New York City , as well as the Massachusetts Institute of Technology ( MIT ) , Schneider has never worked for the motion picture industry , but is employed in daily life at Deloitte LLP , New York City , as a financial consultant .
