Yeah, while they are at it, why not design a “way back” machine. Actually the most unbelievable thing on “Star Trek” to me was the transporter.
I still liked the show but it was really a fantasy.
the most unbelievable thing on star trek to me was the computer that sounded like iPhone Siri.
Just remember. Everything created by man was once considered impossible.
Quite a bit of that “fantasy” became reality.
The first major small cell phone engineers in mass production made then a flip-phone on purpose to mimic the “communicator”.
Spock used data packs for the computer which were thicker 5-1/4 inch disk. Kirk and others would electronically sign pads for data like fuel consumption. Thick and as big as a clip borad with lights on it.
Doors that open automatically were still novelties back then.
The rest are just good old science fiction stories.
