Honestly, if that were the case, I don't think it would have escaped Pelia's attention and she seemed to believe that they were the real deal.

The ship registry did start with Elon's favorite letter.
It was a reference to the XCV-330
The ringship Enterprise, yep.
Yeah, that's why I wrote, "I overlayed a subtext," based on the, "the times we live in," and not just, "I picked up a subtext from the episode," cuz it's not really a subtext.
Although, it is a very strange twist of fate for the astronauts.

why thank you.
Anyway I give this a 9. Almost a perfect episode. I'm just tired of Pelia. The telephone thing was dumb. She just happened to have a box of perfectly working 400 year old telephones.
The creatures aren't absorbing light so they could have used fiber optic binary signalling, or anything but the hokey telephone thing.
That's a small nitpick on an otherwise awesome episode. The creepiness of imagining what these suited humans have been like for 400 years is .. yeesh.
So what we know of humankind's early interstellar attempts so far:
- Nomad: merged with alien. Went Bad.
- Voyager 6: Accidentally went interstellar and pulled a Nomad. Stopped killing humanity to watch a VM it created get it on with a human. Then probably went back in time to make the borg or something.
- Friendship 1: Nearly killed all the Otrin and their planet.
- Botany Bay: well.. they didn't die. Be nice if they did, though.
- XCV-100: BAD.. but they didn't die
- SS Conestoga: Successfully landed colonists, then all hell occurred. But TECHNICALLY successful
- SS Valiant: went to galactic barrier somehow, and everyone got ESPery and murderful.
- XCV-330: no idea.. but let's be real for a moment. It got replaced so quickly by another Enterprise AND no one's mentioned it being a museum.. I'm just going to assume the worst.
(I was painstakingly forcing my army of trained typist cetaceans to research and write this while @cooleddie74 beat me to it)

Colonel Shaun Geoffrey Christopher's manned mission to Saturn around, oh, 2025 was a success. So there's that. Not interstellar, but hey, I'll take what I can get.
Maybe the captains were inspired by Mount Mount
I was like, oh they still have big weird wobbly pink vibratators in the future, then.
It's fanlore that comes from an old Lincoln Enterprises profile of Spock, IIRC. It definitely seeped into some tie-in material but doesn't fit with the all-Vulcan Intrepid crew and doubly so for any modern Trek.
Picard's ancestor was doing the same thing around Jupiter, just a year before.
