I’m currently re-watching the original series. Hadn’t seen most episodes since I was a kid, and I had missed out on a lot of forward-thinking plot devices.

I absolutely agree that the design is sound, I’ve seen very similar models at NASA labeled “likely to be built”.
It just does not say Enterprise to me(which is an unlikely design).
It does look like a Vulcan ship (whose design was probably borrowed from NASA).

It DOES look like a Vulcan ship.
