We welcome to the cave designer and illustrator Matt Cushman, the artist behind some of our favorite science fiction cutaway illustrations from Star Trek and Star Wars. Matt shares with Adam his new massive cross-section poster of the original USS Enterprise, sized as large as the original 11-foot filming model. We scrutinize the details of this incredible piece and learn all the ways Matt made sense of the interior layout based on what was shown in the original series episodes!
Cetacean Ops is all about navigation. Dolphins, etc. are used to freely moving about in 3D space in ways that bipeds like humans are not used to, so they are a natural fit for navigating a vessel through 3D space. Their minds are just wired to think that way better than ours.
