Thus the term, “science FICTION”.

Set hundreds of years in the future, the Enterprise had both impulse power and warp drive.
Comparing future, inter-stellar propulsion technologies with current North Korean rocket technology is... illogical.

Well,....yeah. If you’re dumb enough to belive that this is science fact.
Oh. Wait......

Nonsense!
Everyone knows from Galaxy Quest that it is quite easy!

That's why the ship was built and docked in space. Bigger really is better in space but you can't get them up there so you need to build them there.

I'm not suprised. There are freepers here who think CSI is a documentary.

Nonsense! Everyone knows from Galaxy Quest that it is quite easy! One of my favorite movies, and one of the few with Sigourney Weaver that I actually thought she looked hot.

Reality has fallen far short of the galaxy-hopping future envisioned by Star Trek, and NASA takes the blame Imagine where we would be if we didn't have government bureaucrats.

Space travel is especially tough when you cancel your manned space program.

I don't get hung up on Star Trek. I would be happy with 2001 a Space Odyssey. Who cares what space ships can do 300 years in the future. We were supposed to be able to hop a scheduled run up to the moon 11 years ago.

We can get them up there, but have to give up our rather irrational fear of nuclear propulsion.
But, yes, it's too bad people have gotten the idea we live in a Star Trek universe. In all likelihood, nothing could be further from the truth.
