Cool or cheesy?

Looks like NASA held a contest this time.
It's too bad that NASA blew the "Enterprise" name for the shuttle on the original non-space ready flying test prototype.
I think it's perfect and cheesy- kinda like the original series itself.
That theme- and all of the music from the early episodes- is very near and dear to my heart; that show was a very important part of my childhood.
I'm just surprised that there was anyone on that crew old enough to recognize the theme, or Shatner's voice.
