=== Background information ===
The name Picasso and the shuttlecraft's registry number were derived from the remastered version of "The Menagerie, Part I". In the episode as originally aired, the shuttle was named simply Shuttlecraft 1, and was a re-use of the Enterprise shuttlecraft that appeared several times in recycled footage to represent other shuttles throughout TOS. In this case, the reuse of the Galileo studio model was in keeping with the episode's final draft script, which simply referred to it initially as "REDRESS GALILEO SEVEN". However, the same teleplay also specified the shuttlecraft was to be referred to, in dialogue, as "Star Base Shuttlecraft Four", despite this line ultimately being changed to refer to it as number one instead.
The Picasso was named for artist Pablo Picasso (1881-1973) and David Rossi's cat. () Ironically, the real Picasso was not particularly impressed with space exploration. When asked about the Apollo 11 moon landing, the day after it occurred, Picasso was quoted as saying, "It means nothing to me. I have no opinion about it, and I don't care."
