How will control consoles really look in 100, 200, 300 years from now?

Could you see Depeche Mode using Herman Zimmerman's Enterprise-E bridge design (without the roof/dome)for a stage design for a tour?

 

[Admiral Buzzkill]

You notice that those bridge sketches are labeled "Iowa" rather than "Kelvin?"

At an earlier point in the production, The Kelvin was the Iowa. This was to have been used - no joke - to justify Kirk having been "born in Iowa."

BTW, I'd much rather that this design were used for the Enterprise bridge than the one they wound up with. C'est la guerre.

BTW, I'd much rather that this design [KELVIN] were used for the Enterprise bridge than the one they wound up with. C'est la guerre.

Me too. I prefer it to the Enterprise bridge.
