You're not inferring that our current Tribbulations can be traced back to them are you?

You know looking at that photo I just realized...

Obama was a Borg plot..

Connect the dots..

Obama was a nobody about to lose to her ex..then she caused the event that takes her husband down and opens the door to Obama rise to power.

Then Obama both weakens the US to the point of collapse and prep the people to be assimilated in to the collective in the coming future.

Obama is s Borg plot!..its so obvious. .how did I miss it!

(Funny there was STNG movie about a time travel Borg plot to destroy Earth)

Imho, if we don't destroy ourselves or get hit by a meteor, we will see light travel in a hundred years.

I wonder if FR will be around then?

The only drawback is that you won't be able to see a thing outside of your star fighter.

Maybe you could tether a camera to the ship so you can see outside the force field. Or, have a drone with a camera that follows at a safe distance and sends back video. I wonder if the transmissions could get through the force field?

Star Trek had shields even in the original series, Star Wars is just introducing them 40 years later.
