Tidying up a bit. . . .My apologies to Ms. Blalock for misspelling her name: it's "Jolene," not "Joleen." And to Klaang, the lost Kingon. I spelled it with one "a," whereas he spells it with two.
And I don't believe the NX-01 was actually painted. That looks like bare metal to me. I thing Archer was just making a smart remark to twit his companion who was piloting the shuttle, and in a moment of inattention, had lightly bumped the hull of the brand-new Enterprise. He grazed another vessel later in the show. Apparently, as a pilot, he ain't no Chuck Yeager.
