Science just keeps screwing up the best science fiction. First they told me that laser-guns and explosions in space wouldn't make any noise. And that faster-than-light travel wasn't possible, and even near-light travel would screw up peoples' ages relative to each other. That you couldn't have gravity on a ship to let you walk around, etc. Now this?
What's next? No Klingons?

If you ever had a long haired dog, you would be well aware that Klingon will always exist.

Never fire a laser at a mirror.
And if you thought that laser-guns and explosions in space would make a noise then you haven't been paying attention to science fiction for about 30 years.
Remember the tag line to the first Alien movie (1979)?
