What the hell did I just watch?

Yeah, although considering the registry number, it’s possible that the ship is older than the registry number - NCC-1972 would put it theoretically somewhere near the USS Excelsior, NX-2000/NCC-2000. Which would actually make the uniforms a little less anachronistic.

See, this is why I think that inanimate object ponies that represent things that have a high possibility of going boom, or can be expended, or both, run on a sort of “One personality, multiple bodies” kind of situation, ie. SpaceX Rocket Pony (aka Merlin, based on what I’ve heard) has been, is, and will be every Falcon 9 core stage. She probably has a trio of bulkier siblings that represent the Falcon Heavy’s core stage and boosters, and a younger sibling that represents the upper stage of the Falcon 9 and Falcon Heavy.
 
EDIT: This would also explain why Merlin isn’t just kind of depressing to think about, because otherwise she’d have a lot of siblings who crashed into the ocean, and a few that just went kaboom.
