Its not a mock up. The enterprise is ready for space flight, just add life support and engines. It was designed as a proof of concept for the atmospheric glider testing with the intention to upgrade it to full flight status later when the others were completed. But then the program went way over and poof money dissapeared. Its a real life space ship, that just never went there
