Note the styling of these vehicles.  It’s interesting how our vision of the future rests heavily on contemporary design aesthetic.  A great example of this is the NCC Enterprise, check out a comparison over at bin.false.org.  Just as these vehicles no doubt looked futuristic to people of the 1950s or 60s and look quaint to us, no doubt our visions of the future such as Star Wars and Battlestar Galactica will seem naive 50 or 100 years or more hence.
