A plastic model of the Enterprise and monofilament fishing line!! Several times back when the original show was on in the late 60s I saw the lines bouncing the Enterprise. I remember once I saw two of the lines at the same time.
These were always seen for just a moment but you could see them well enough you knew what they were.
I guess they had to have some way to bounce the Enterprise during ion storms! 😂
From a plastic model to 7 of 9!! Star Trek has came a long way!! 😁

I remember Buck Rogers' spaceship hanging from strings and spouting sparkler "flames/smoke."
I remember when there wasn't tv.
And fiery auto crashes
Some will die in hot pursuit
While sifting through my ashes
Some will fall in love with life
And drink it from a fountain
That is pouring like an avalanche
Coming down the mountain
I remember when there was no PCs or internet. Life was good then.
I'm so old I remember special effects needed play-doh clay to make all of the creatures that were shot one frame at a time to make them move around the screen!
They even moved slow enough you actually got a good look at them! Where today, things move so fast all you see is a blurr and don't blink or you will miss it!
I'm also so old that my first STD was a bad case of the COOTIES! 😲
Damnation!!! I haven't had a bad case of cooties since the seventh grade!! I can still remember the cutie pie that gave me them there cooties.
QUIT!!
If you played cooties like we played cooties in NW Ohio in late 50s, early 60s you will understand QUIT!! 😂
Mr. Perfect, I'm so old I remember when there wasn't radio.
I remember racing at Indy on skinny tires.
I remember when skinny jeans meant growing taller and not just wider.
