On the first day of shooting, a few ad-libbed ceremonies were performed before the cameras rolled. Gene Roddenberry gave Robert Wise his baseball cap, emblazoned with "Enterprise" in gold lettering (the cap was a gift from the Captain of the nuclear carrier Enterprise). Wise and Roddenberry then cracked a special breakaway bottle of champagne on the bridge set (there was no liquid inside, as flying champagne would have damaged the readied set). The scene planned was the chaotic mess aboard the Enterprise bridge as the crew readies the ship for space travel. Wise directed fifteen takes into the late afternoon before he was content with the scene.
