Thanks. Interesting link, but I keep reading “doesn’t yet exist” for all of the pieces.

Roddenberry definitely imagined a wonderful universe.

Matching velocities is something inherent in either method. Using another body eliminates the need to accelerate tons, and tons, of mass for protection from cosmic rays, micro-meteors, and provides for subsistence, as long as this body had water and various other elements which could be mined by those aboard it.
That is if we wish to send people. If we only send DNA, in the form of some sort of organism (water bear, bacterium, or even viruses perhaps) then a lone craft of much smaller size would probably be the best alternative.

That’s not imagination, that’s hormonal imbalance, according to our mono-sexual overlords.

Captain, transport me to this new planet, and I mean pronto ...

There are a couple humorous posts I’ve seen other places. One wonders what the reaction of the alien civilization is to our shooting tiny projectiles toward their planet. “This means WAR!”
The other offers to be the manager of the near side moon base constructed to hold the giant lasers. This from the future emperor.

Yes but the raw material on the 60's version was of very high quality.
Yvonne Craig and Susan Oliver? I mean, c'mon!!
To: Buckeye McFrog
YVonne Craig was awesome as Batgirl.
Susan Oliver was a hottie.

A plant that is tidally locked (one face always to the sun, is not earth-like. I doubt it has atmosphere because the frozen night side would be incredibly cold and the atmosphere would freeze to ice.

I was purposefully focusing on the "other" outerspace show of the mid-sixties, Lost in Space. Gorn would be too serious for that one. Just imagine if somehow Dr. Smith wound up on the Enterprise? I don't think even Kirk can overcome that problem.
