What are Enterprises made of?


What kind of materials are you using to create this?

Picture We�re using kevlar, titanium, aluminium, steel and all the metals that we are familiar with. Obviously, weight is a precious commodity, and everything that you have to get past Earth�s gravity to assemble in space requires tremendous amounts of energy. So you look for materials that are light-weight and designs that are honest. There�s not anything that is not utilitarian aboard the new Enterprise.
