After all, the USS Enterprise was a starship, not a shuttle. If any name from Startrek should be used for a shuttle, it should be "Galileo", not "Enterprise". Unfortunately that name is going to be used for something else. Maybe we'll name our first space station "Tribble" or something else related (did the space station on Startrek have a name?), and our first interstellar craft "Enterprise"?
