Actually I thought they did the space shots of the planets rather well
I see no real purpose in "modernizing" the FX on TOS. I accept that they were made in the
late 1960s and I think they did quite well overall on most of them, especially the shots of
the Enterprise in space and around various planets. All without CGI.
Can't they just leave an old classic series alone? Some of us like aspects of an earlier,
simpler time.
