2This isn't the case at all. The fact of the matter is only one side of the ship was fully detailed. The other had cables for lighting hanging out of it.– Matthew WhitedCommented May 5, 2021 at 13:34

7@MatthewWhited And why did they decide to put the cables on that side of the model, instead of the other side? There's no contradiction between their explanation and your explanation.– MJ713Commented May 5, 2021 at 17:14

1It might be worth adding a reference to the other answer here, or at least something along the lines of "They chose to fly from left to right because...". Just to make it explicit how this mental bias would have led to the setup that got built.– BobsonCommented May 5, 2021 at 17:52

1@MJ713 there is no contradiction, but it may well be a coincidence. It is just a subjective evalution.– nurettinCommented May 5, 2021 at 19:42

5@nurettin - The left-to-right for progress & right-to-left for setbacks is a well-known and widely utilized paradigm in the entertainment industry. You can find numerous references to it. It would be quite surprising if the Star Trek production team had not considered it when designing the prop.– Paul SinclairCommented May 5, 2021 at 19:54

A tag is a keyword or label that categorizes your question with other, similar questions. Choose one or more (up to 5) tags that will help answerers to find and interpret your question.
Type the name of the science fictional or fantastical work your question is about (Example:
star-wars).For questions not specific to any one work, use concept tags to describe your question (Example:
story-identification).Tagging rules:
- complete the sentence: my question is about...
- use tags that describe things or concepts that are essential, not incidental to your question
- favor using existing popular tags
- read the descriptions that appear below the tag
If your question is primarily about a topic for which you can't find a tag:
- combine multiple words into single-words with hyphens (e.g. story-identification), up to a maximum of 35 characters
- creating new tags is a privilege; if you can't yet create a tag you need, then post this question without it, then ask the community to create it for you
