Spring is here, so I thought it would be fun to make a geeky tent design that would be perfect for all of your away missions: I present a tent design based on the shuttlecraft from Star Trek. It’s not such a far-fetched idea; Star Trek V began with Kirk, Spock, and McCoy camping in the great outdoors.
This is a 2-man tent design that features an entrance at the back (just like the actual shuttlecraft). The tent stores in a carrying case that splits apart to become the nacelles.
This started as a bunk bed design several months back, but I didn’t want to keep posting bed designs at the time, so I shelved it. Glad I could do something different for the shuttlecraft here.

“PLEASE – PLEASE STAR TREK MAKE THIS. I’M THROWING MONEY AT MY SCREEN. WHY IS NOTHING HAPPENING?!!!!”
Could not have said it better myself!!! LMFAO!
Paramount,
Please let me know what person/animal you would like for me to sacrifice to you to make this happen…
how much and where can I buy it?
Want want want
well if this was made in collab with North Face, how come theyre not selling it?
It’s a design. See site name, subtitle at top of the page.
I want this as well. I want to sleep in it at Renaissance Festivals so that the future we’ll be present.
How much?, When will it be available?, and where can I get one???
Please stop teasing us and get it made in multiple sizes. “Camp long and sleep well.”
Will this ever become a reality? Because the “take my money” meme isn’t that far off here…
I want yo buy this damnit.. You got my hopes up
Yes. I got to have this. Pls..
Nice
I would very much like this tent, then I will boldly go…to a camp ground or even my backyard and enjoy not only the earth but the stars as well. Make it sew.
Omg just take my money already. I must have this
Where’s the “Shut Up and Take My Money” button?
Shut up and take my gold pressed latinum.
Hells, yes!
OMGOODNESS YES! TAKE MY MONEY NOW!!!!
Send me the forms to order some asap
I need this in my life. Can we Kickstart this, or something??Please?
Kickstarter program is a good idea…make it so!
I want it……
How do I get one of these????
How much
Reblogged this on alteregoliz.
Holy crap that’s awesome.
Are there plans? Can you sell a version of it without the ST logo to avoid any infringement? There’s gotta be a way!
This is the ONLY way to go camping…🖖
So when in production
Awaiting purchasing instructions!
How can I buy one from you?Or were?
We are going to colorado. I simply need two of these, no three. When my grandkids go fun fun fun
Send this to ThinkGeek. It’ll sell like hotcakes. Nerdy hotcakes. Hot nerdy cakes.
Nerdy, nerdy hotcakes indeed.
Two please
Great Idea ! Need to have this - and I’m sure, I’m NOT the only one !!
I’d buy that. Would have to be double skinned though.
Stop messing about! Open a dialogue with Paramount and then get an Indiegogo campaign going! 😉
Seriously dude - this is a brilliant design. You could even do a larger one based on a runabout 🙂
Blastastic!! I have a side-yard begging me to get this! When? Where? How Much? did I mention When? oh heck, here’s my checkbook, pen, first born…no, can’t do that…ok, I’ll put you in my WILL!!!!
I want that tent. It is dual skin right? Pretty useless if not.
I need this. When, where, and how much?
Make it so!
Love this would love to have One
Where do I get one?
Want!! Grabby hands!!! Throws a truck load of cash at the screen… Although it would need to be a 4 man tent, have you ever slept in a two man tent? There is barely enough room for one person, and certainly no room for gear.
That is beyond awesome.
The entire Star trek world is waiting for you to sell these shuttlecraft tents. Hurry !
I know an entire sci-if larp system that would bulk buy these if you sold them!
Make it so.
I am incomplete until I have this
Where can I get one , please, please?
How much and how do I get it
fabulous! Where when how can I buy one! Like now!!
Shut up and take my money!
why are you reading this instead of making this tent happen !!!
*Throws money at the screen*!!!! PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!! HOW DO WE GET ONE!?!?!?
I need this!
I love camping. I love Star Trek.
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!
For the right price, I’M IN!! 😍
MAKE IT SO. Seriously, make it!
Oh boy…gotta have 4 please let me know when available.
Shut up and take my money!! Awesome idea!
Where can i get one
Any chance you could mock up a 4-6 man Runabout version, maybe call it the Rubicon? 🙂
WANT IT NOW! *grabby paws*
I’m trying to decide which one of my children I have to give up for this! Ugh… Decisions!
Gimme gimme gimme gimme… take my money too
Just be sure to get permission from CBS Productions, which owns Star Trek, before actually attempting to make this into a product. I encountered the copyright issue when I wanted to build a full-scale replica of the original shuttle and tour the country with it, inspiring yet another generation of students to pursue engineering careers, much like the original TV series inspired me and countless others. I built a small-scale proof-of-concept prototype (which you can see here: https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=oa.663931007048293&type=1) but when I contacted CBS Productions their response was essentially, “Don’t do that”.
Dude build first ask permission when caught, if you don’t make a profit they can’t touch you. And if you do they get cut in.
Where can you buy this tent at?
Do it! When and where can I get one?!
I would like have a tent like this too. That’s totally awesome. You are so talented for creating such item. When can I get one from you and how much does it cost? You made my day. 🙂
SOMEONE MAKE THIS!!!!
Fantastic! Love it! Must have at least one.
Start a kickstarter/gofundme campaign to put these into prodution!!!
I will quite happily donate to it!!!
I command that, this, be made available, to, the public! To boldly go, ehere no man has gone before!
You better secure a contract with a mass manufacturer and distributor quickly. You won’t be able to meet the demand if you don’t.
Where is the order button? Where is the order button? Oh god Where is it??!!
I would love one !!!
How do I get one?!
We want one now! What’s the hold up?
I know how all of you are feeling about this tent I have a big collection of star trek items and I would just love to had this to my collection and I don’t go camping but if I had one of these I would start for sure. so start making them.
I want this now
Yeah, this is the best thing ever. Imagine a fleet for a large family!!!
I want one for my daughter. She’s a trekkie after my own heart, and she’s been begging for a tent. This is the perfect tent. Please make this happen?!
It is imperative to my survival that I own one of these. Serious.
This really needs to be a thing.
This thing has been posted for more than 12 hours now. Why can’t I order one yet?!!!
so is there a kickstarter campaign for this or what? why tell us this if you are not making this for us to buy? that is just cruel!
Design a bigger one too, some of us like a few passengers. Everyone knows for actual comfort, “two-man” actually means “one-man.”
If you could add in a food replicator, it’d be perfect for camping. I’d even settle for a marsh melon replicator.
I want the tent too… but I’d also like to hear more about this marsh melon thing!
WANT IT NOW!
So where do we buy this??
I would buy this
How do I get this!!?
I would like to purchase the Star Trek Shuttlecraft tent. How much does it cost? How do I order it? And if it’s not ready yet then when can I purchase one?
Thank you very much
I agree this would be awesome. Where and when can we get this?
With all the junk out there that most fans could careless about, this tent would be a very hot item -
There is no reason that this shouldn’t be available for the fans who are interested, we aren’t talking about a large investment here ..
so it actually real .. or just an idea? If this is real where can I purchase it?
we need to tell Star trek .com to make this or let this person make this
Why are we not funding this ????
Do you make a 4 man or 6 man shuttlecraft tent
this week ago with my 15 passenger van with USS spradling NCC 1998 on the side
WANT!
As a Scout Leader in SCOTLAND it must be double skined. As a TREKKIE WANT IT REGAURDLESS.
Reblogged this on 206geek podcast.
I want one of these too, maybe we should just take this idea to the actual tent manufacturers, and see if we can start something rolling? lol
Want one
I NEED ONE!!! My kids and I need to campout in a shuttlecraft. I’m throwing my credit card at the screen, but nothings happening. SOMEONE HELP ME. I have assimilated this product and I WANT ONE!!!!
Pretty please!! I would use that!
The delta flyer too?? Please set up a kickstarter, I know you’ll get more than fully funded!!
Yes please! This will sell millions!
Ooh, this I would Love but…. I would like to see the Galileo (from the original series) More.
Oh, I thought this was actually for sale. Shame that it isn’t.
Reblogged this on reddragon99.
I will pay as much Latium as is neccesary to have this
where canI get one?
I need a link to buy!!!!!!! I need a fleet
Where can i get one and how much is it?
O.K you have us a;ll on the hook. Now you had better start selling these darned things or you are going to piss off a whole genre of fans, and there are MILLIONS of us.
I need this in my life right now. It would be cool if you released a bigger one though. Also, shut up and take my money.
We need one - please - Make it so.
Or submit the design to ThinkGeek and let them work all the licensing rights and sell it for you. But get it into production!!!
Will this be sold?!!!!
It is only logical for Starfleet crew to have sleeping quarters while on away missions! Please make it so, no matter the cost - I’ll pay any reasonable amount!
I live in Southern California and go camping all the time. Plus have been a Trekkie since 1966 when the first show aired. I must have this. Please please please make this. I could see about 5 of these sitting in an open desert or wooded mountain now.
Can I buy this? If so, where?
No ifs, no buts……just a simple, I want!!
How do I order one??
Kickstarter this. NOW!
Will it be in production by Christmas? I need to order 4.
Want!
Are there plans for manufacture? I see my son’s next Christmas present-he already has the china.
Gudieeeee…..
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY MONEY!!!
Take my money already
Where do we get them? I like 3…
Please!!!!
Dump the poles, go with inflatable elements instead. That’s a WAY easier set up and pack option, than your regular poles.
Also don’t go TNF. Go Vango, Helsport or Hilleberg, if you decide to keep the regular poles. Go Heimplanet, for the inflatable kind.
… you need to put this into a small camper form. That way, on a trailer going down the highway,
it’d look like it was chasing my truck!
.
You should seriously start a kickstarer campaign. Please man, for the love of God!
There has got to be a way to get one.
I’m not a camper, but I’d camp if I had this tent! Shut up and take my money already … associated idea … camp chair that looks like the Captain’s chair on the Enterprise … Make it so!
I want I want I want I would definitely buy
Where can I buy the tent.i want to order one.
Yes please makes this. I am crying because I want it so badly and it doesn’t exist. Please please please!!
Please notify me when then is production. Many thanks.
So where’s a link to buy it
Where do I order?
🙌🙌🙌🙌 $$$$$$$$$$TAKE MY MONEY ALREADY! !!!!!
I want this now!! Take my money!!
I MUST have one of these. MUST, MUST, MUST.
SELL THIS TO ME!
I need this and when you need something it’s a responsibility
So can I buy this yet or is it just in the development stages now ?….because I know about 50 people that would want this
I must have this! This must be created! MAKE IT SO! Here, take my money! TAKE IT!
Name your price. I’ll gladly pay! lol
Where can we buy it ?
When will this be available? How day could we get it? My son is getting deployed in a few months and I would like to get this for him and my grandson to camp with before he leaves.
Love the shuttlecraft! Prices and shipping!

Remember to click “like” on any & all of his ideas he’s posted for our consideration. Oh, and I see he is also on Facebook (isn’t everyone these days?) so I definitely liked on his Facebook! 🙂
You need to make a roof box version of this to sit on top of the car so it looks like the shuttle has docked with me….. Here’s my cash…
Paramount,
Please let me know what person/animal you would like for me to sacrifice to you to make this happen…
Take my money. Just take it. I don’t camp, but I’d be willing to start if I had this!!
Anybody wants a marsh melon?
I believe we are suppose to begin singing songs around the campfire now?
please please put this tent into production. I want one so bad!!!!!

I want one too! Please send purchase info!
Please and thank you.
I am 76 years old and almost retired nurse. My 2 boys have converted Star Trek. I would love to have this tent to share with my 2 sons and 5 grandsons and grandaughters.
Many wonderful memories.
However my finds very limited and would try to get one to share.
Would love to sharevwith my family
Paramount will be all over this like Eric Cartman saying, “RESPECT MY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTAH!”
Please make this ASAP!!!
Very cool.

This is so absolutely wonderfully amazing! Only one question…… Where can I get my hands on one!?!?!?

How much does it weigh..?
Great design!
Friggin Awesome
Where do I get one?!!!!
I´m not a happy camper, but this could change my mind! Thankyou for sharing!
That would be so awesome! I could see my boys camping out in the living room in that while watching Star Trek.
Yes please!!!!!!
this is so awesome!!
As a life-long fan, growing up on the classic reruns even before TNG ever came out, I love this. I would be even more excited if the shuttle’s name were Goddard - because of Relics.
At present, I am in college, so I could not afford one (assuming it were for sale), but if I get into my chosen career, I would have a hard time saying no…
Please, how can I get one of these?
If you do not make this in mass quantities I will feed your Pe”taq carcass to the targs other than that Dif tor heh smusma Live long and prosper Qapla
Contact ThinkGeek and make this happen! I want one to take on my camping trip in Idaho this August to see the solar eclipse. And of course to Vasquez Rock.
Id like to purchase one…where can i get one?
Where do I buy this? And why do I not have 10 of them?
There has GOT TO BE some geeky manufacturer out there that will put this pinnacle of nerd camp-gear into production…please send this idea to all of them…I MUST HAVE! 😀
Just weighing in here and registering for updates - I would do instantly buy this it actually hurts. PLEASE sort out a crowd funding page?!?! #LLAP
Please take my money!
When can we buy them and how much ?
I only just saw this on facebook today.
Will this be made for real? ~~\(0.0)/~~
I really want to go camping someday.
But, since i’m a 30year old Autistic woman with a fear of the dark(its just not going away xD i’ve tried)& anxiety issues XD this would be a major incentive & help immensely if it existed. I tried camping in the back garden once as a child, but got too scared & came back in doors when it got dark & a wee bit wind blew with a bit rain(i had a Gizmo cuddly too xD). If i could pretend i was Starfleet(science officer, possibly medical)on an away mission though, i might be able to brave it longer.
Please please considering making it for real?
I’m sure a lot of people would buy it.
Though, obviously it’ll need promoted well too.
Maybe it might sell enough to be able to make different shuttlecraft designs/prints?
How can I buy the Star Trek tent
Where do I buy this and how much will it cost? Including shipping to Australia.
WANT X 1,000,000
Come on! Paramount or whoever! Make this!
I need at least three of these :). They would be perfect when I am going on digs and other anthropology/archaeology trips. Even just for normal camping here in Colorado.
Beam me up. I want one!
MAKE IT SO!!
Shut up and take my money!
Where do I get one!!!!!!
So how much is it and how can I order it?
Is the shuttle craft tent available to purchase?
When will tent be available?
Could you at least give us the pattern? Then we could “make it sew”!
😂🖖
Are .. Are you telling me that I can’t actually buy this?
TAKE MY MONEY
Where does one purchase this star trek tent and how much is it?
I think the general consensus is why is this not an actual thing yet and how can we make it happen.
I want one
Why? Just, why would you show something this totally cool and amazing without it actually being for sale??? I’m in my 50’s and would totally buy it!
Shut up and take my money!!!!!!
How about a puddle jumper version for all the gaters.
YES!!!! I would buy both, despite not needing both!
TAKE MY LATINUM !!!
I need this !! 😀
Please please PLEEEEEAAAAASE let there be a way for me to buy this!
This is cruel and unusual punishment to show me this when I can’t buy it! khannnnnnnnnnn!
Are these tents in production, or just a design idea, I would buy one
Think Geek or another company should’ve jumped on this and shoved barrels of money at you for this. I would start budgeting to buy this and I don’t particularly like camping.
MAKE IT SO!!!!!! Ill pay in bars of latinum…
You MUST make this real !!!!!
You would make a fortune, and us Trekkie’s would be like pigs in muck !!!!
where can I purchase the StarTrek Shuttlecraft Tent?
Where do I pay?! I want to buy this
I WANT TO BUY THE THING.
Where can I buy this? Please tell me this is available! PLEASE!
DANG THERE ARE A MESS OF FOLKS THAT WANT THIS TENT!!!
Crowd fund this bad boy,
TAKE OUR MONEY!! And MAKE THIS SEW!!!
I’ll buy one let me know when its available
Can you make one that sleeps 8-10 people?
I have a large family.
If you wanted to keep it in scale with this brilliant piece you could design companion tents with either the Runabout, Captains Yacht or Defiant shell.
If make it sleep 8-10 I’ll buy one!
How much
I would love one of these. How much and where can I buy it?
Good god please make this!
I NEED IT!!!! Please tell me someone is selling this!
I’ll buy one!
How many visited this site to buy this, only to discover there’s no means to do so. Beam one down at these coordinates scotty. This native is restless.
Add me to the list of “want this”
I want!
You’re losing money as we speak. This is easily marketable, I suggest you get on with setting up a deal to have them manufactured ASAP. Hire someone to take the steps and measures required to accomplish that if need be. The longer you wait the more money you lose that could be going to develop or produce the other ideas.
It looks like someone picked up this idea and is producing the shuttlecraft tent. Dave, were you involved in this? https://www.toynk.com/products/star-trek-the-next-generation-shuttlecraft-justman-2-person-camping-tent
