    Unbeknownst to many, the Grand Canyon is where Gene Roddenberry dug up the Dilithium crystals to run the Enterprise ships on, I mean: how else did he film those scenes? There was no CGI in the 70s!

      60s. And based on the restorations of TOS that I hate so much, they did have CG in the 60s.

      (Apart from anything else, those restorations didn’t take into account that the lighting and the makeup were designed for snowy 1960s TVs in both color and black and white. I don’t need to see Shatner’s lipstick and the seams around Spock’s ears.)
