Happy launch day! April 11, 2245 is the day the 1701 was launched, according to her bridge plaques.
The Trek franchise seems to have an odd fixation with April. Other examples include First Contact Day being April 5, which would later become the date of the Synth attack on Mars. The NX-01 was launched in April 2151, and the anniversary of its launch would later become the holiday Frontier Day, of which the Borg launch an attack on in the final season of Picard. Then of course there's Robert April.
The Vulcan lirpa is an anagram of April. In fact, it's April backwards! 
I think that date may have also appeared in some older source, but I could be wrong
Holy crap! Never noticed any of these things but yeah...The Vulcan lirpa is an anagram of April. In fact, it's April backwards!
So, in looking at Gene Roddenberry's Wiki page to see if there are any other significant April dates, it does have this:
- On April 24 [1964], he sent three copies and two dollars to the Writers Guild of America to register his series. He called it Star Trek.
- During 1974, Roddenberry reworked the Genesis II concept as a second pilot, Planet Earth, for rival network ABC... The pilot was aired on April 23, 1974.
- On April 21, 1997, a Celestis spacecraft with 7 grams (1⁄4 oz) of the cremated remains of Roddenberry, along with those of Timothy Leary, Gerard K. O'Neill and 21 other people, was launched into Earth orbit as part of the Minisat 01 mission aboard a Pegasus XL rocket from a site near the Canary Islands.
- In the "References" section at the bottom, there are 40 instances of the month of April, the most of any other month, whereas the other months have these counts:
- January: 19
- February: 6
- March: 31
- May: 9
- June: 8
- July: 8
- August: 6
- September: 10
- October: 7
- November: 5
- December: 4
Also, according to the old fan published USS Enterprise Officer's Manual, April 11 is Captain Pike's birthday.
His birthday and the Enterprise's are the same!
His birthday and the Enterprise's are the same!
Twins separated at birth.
Both have incredible hair.
May you find your way as pleasant.
Random Instagram posts of food I know nothing about?
That the reason Kirk is given command of the Enterprise was because they knew he'd be there all the damn time anyway.
What mad genius did this? It's perfect!
BTW that cover proves yet again that the shape of the Disco-prise is not nearly as egregious as her texturing.
Even her hull textures aren't too bad. It's how they light the ship that gives it that very metallic look.
I'm still gonna celebrate, though.
