Notes : The episode includes an homage to the Original Series art director Matt Jefferies, in naming the captain of the engineering team working on the project after him. In a now annual tradition, 3 members of the USS Enterprise (CVN 65 of the navy-USA) awarded by the navy as sailors of the year make a guest appearance in the series. This time, they're not part of the crew but are in the mission control center of the NX-01 (They are Frey, Grant and Hunt). Canavan was the Maquis terrorist Tamal in Defiant (DS9) and Curneth in
"Unforgettable" (VOY). Bevine played Bajoran Belar in Things Past (DS9), a security guard in
"Pathfinder" (VOY) and a guard in First Contact.
