.WELL,
.WELL, IN
.WELL, IN INDIANA, MAN HAS DESIGNED SOMETHING THAT IS TRULY OUT OF THIS WORLD. IT'S
AN UNDERGROUND RECREATION
OF ONE OF THE WORLD'S FAVORITE■■
FRANCHISES AND HE USED HIS BARE
HANDS TO DO IT ALL. TODD SPANE
DIDN'T HAVE A LOT OF MONEY TO
DO THIS OR EVEN A LOT OF HELP.
>> BUT WHAT HE DID HAVE WAS A
VISION TO GO WHERE NO ONE HAS
GONE BEFORE. >> CARLOS, I LOVE
THIS STORY NEW THIS MORNING,
KAREN TAKES US ON A TREK
THROUGH THIS MASSIVE TRIBUTE TO
A SCI FI CLASSIC. MEET TODD
STERN ON THE BIG STAR TREK FAN
WHEN IT COMES COMES TO STAR
EVER SINCE HIS FATHER
INTRODUCED HIM TO SCI FI AS A
CHILD, HIS LOVE FOR IT SPARKED
IDEAS TO CREATE SOMETHING
SPECTACULAR. >> WHEN I GOT THE
HOUSE THE BASEMENT COMPLETELY
UNFINISHED AND I WANTED A
THEATER AND A COMPUTER ROOM AND
EVERYTHING SO I JUST WENT A
LITTLE WEIRD AND CREATED THIS
IDEA BECAUSE I WANTED SOMETHING
DIFFERENT AND OH BOY IS IT
DIFFERENT THIS TOOK ME SIX TO
EIGHT MONTHS TO FINISH A STAR
TREK BRIDGID THEMED THEATER. I
GET EXCITED DON'T COME DOWN
HERE EVEN IF IT'S JUST TO WATCH
A MOVIE IF YOU KNOW I SIT DOWN
HERE OH THIS IS AWESOME. BUT
THERE'S MORE I'VE GOT TO
CONSOLE HERE THAT ACTUALLY
CONTROLS ALMOST EVERYTHING IN
THE ROOM. I CAN TURN LIGHTS ON
AND OFF. I CAN TURN SCREENS ON
AND OFF AND CHECK THIS OUT
COMPUTER RED ALERT RED ALERT TO
BATTLE STATIONS, COMPUTER
EMERGENCY OVERRIDE ALL DOORS
THE SECOND PART OF THIS PROJECT
A DOCTOR WHO'S A COMPUTER WHEN
YOU NOW WALK INTO YOUR BASEMENT
IN THIS NEARLY FINISHED PROJECT
,WHAT WAS GOING THROUGH YOUR
MIND BECAUSE YOU'RE BASICALLY
ENTERING INTO A NEW WORLD OR
EVEN A NEW DIMENSION HERE.
EVERY TIME I WALK DOWN HERE,
EVEN WHEN IT WAS DURING
CONSTRUCTION I'D WALK THROUGH
THE STAR TREK DOORS OF THE
BASEMENT AND
I WOULD JUST SMILE
FROM EAR TO EAR BECAUSE IT'S SO
COOL. IT TOOK HIM THREE YEARS
AND TWO MONTHS TO COMPLETE THIS
MASSIVE PROJECT. HE HAS ZERO
CONSTRUCTION EXPERIENCE. >> HE
DID IT ALL BY HIMSELF DESIGNING
A LOT OF GOOGLING PICTURES
SITTING DOWN IN THE BASEMENT
BASICALLY JUST SITTING THERE
STARING AT EVERYTHING GOING HOW
IS THIS GOING TO WORK AND I
ACTUALLY GOT PERMISSION TO
DUMPSTER DOVE SO 30 PERCENT
OF THIS BASEMENT IS ACTUALLY
FROM DUMPSTER DIVING. I DID
THIS FOR ME. I DIDN'T EXPECT
THIS MUCH, YOU KNOW, PUBLICITY
AND EVERYBODY SHARING IT AND
EVERYTHING. SO I WAS LIKE
TOTALLY SHOCKED. TODD SAYS
WHILE IT MAY LOOK LIKE A
MILLION DOLLAR PROJECT, IT'S
ACTUALLY QUITE SIMPLE TO BUILD
YOUR OWN. >> I'M A COMPUTER
PROGRAMMER AUTOMATION
SPECIALIST. I DIDN'T KNOW HOW
TO DRYWALL OR PUT UP WALLS. I
JUST DID A LOT OF RESEARCH,
ASKED A LOT OF QUESTIONS ON
FORUMS AND GOT RESPONSES.
ANYBODY COULD DO IT IF YOU JUST
HAVE TO HAVE THE RIGHT MINDSET
TO DO IT. I AM STANDING IN THE
STAR TREK TRANSPORTER ROOM ONE
OF JUST ANOTHER AMAZING PARTS
OF THIS PROJECT. ALL RIGHT,
TODD, I'M READY. LET'S DO US
ENERGIS
YEAH. >>
MY FAVORITE
PART. YEAH. SO OF COURSE THIS
IS LIKE THE ULTIMATE MAN CAVE.
RIGHT. BUT HE'S NOT DONE YET.
THERE'S STILL MORE THAT TODD
WANTS TO DO WITH HIS BASEMENT.
SO I ASKED HIM, YOU KNOW, WHEN
IT IS OVER WOULD HE BE WILLING
TO GIVE TOURS AND HE SAID
ABSOLUTELY BUT OF COURSE TIME
WILL TELL RIGHT NOW YOU'RE NOW
OFFICIALLY FRIENDS ON FACEBOOK
ALREADY THE QUESTION BUT TODD,
YOU MADE A VERY BIG ERROR, OK,
BECAUSE THE CAMERAMAN HERE IS
OUR OWN SCOTTY GRABER. YES, HE
SAID HIS NAME WAS SCOTTY LIKE
FIVE TIMES AND YOU DIDN'T SAY
BEAM ME UP. >> SCOTTY WANTS YOU
MISSED OUT ON THE AMAZING
OPPORTUNITY ANYWAY, I SAW I'VE
GOT TO TELL YOU THAT WAS A
GREAT PIECE. IT REALLY WAS IT
WAS JUST HE'S HILARIOUS SO I
CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT ELSE
HE'S GOING TO I'M COMING OVER.
ALL RIGHT. I'M COMING OVER TO
YOUR HOUSE. WATCH HIM COMING
UP. YEAH, WE'RE GOING TO HANG
OUT IN YOUR BASEMENT. THAT'S
THE COOLEST
