ANIMATION DESCRIPTION: 



  Quote "Pick your own definitions and go with them." 


  I decided to take the word "classic" quite literaly. :) 

 In 1985, in what can only be called a blatant publicity stunt, Coke and
that"other" company, were allowed to fly their respective products aboard the
shuttle.

 It is somewhat ironic that a simple can of coke has flown in space, but the
Shuttle Enterprise never will.

Therefore, it's time to settle the score, and poke some fun at Star Trek at the
same time...



VIEWING RECOMMENDATIONS: 


A sense of humor, and a certain nostalgia for the eightys.


DESCRIPTION OF HOW THIS ANIMATION WAS CREATED: 


20 frames per second.

Though the animation consists mostly of "Rotate*Clock" values, a considerable
amount of
time went into trying to make each scene look "Right", but the last scene did
not turn out as I hoped. 
yes I know it is washed out in a few places, but I didn't have time to
re-render.
