That is only on the base models. If you spring for the GT package, then you don’t have that problem. As a bonus, you get leather seats.

Since Ray Bradbury copy writed/wrote (Sp?) the idea, shouldn’t his estate get at least .00001$ per warp mile traveled?

Yeah, I hear the package includes subspace Sirius/XM radio, too, with a five light-year subscription.

About ten years ago, I used to bust Roberto Orci's balls in a chat room and kept telling him that I wanted racing flames painted down the sides of one of the shuttlecraft in the new Star Trek movie. He finally said he'd bring it up with the FX folks.

I never did get my racing flames.

Flames would be cool. Pinstripes would also work.

This isn't an aether/oar question.

We can’t even put a man on Mars yet, and realistically, we don’t even have a really good reason to try.

Maybe we should take things one step at a time.

There’s no good reason to go to Mars.

Robots work just fine.

But that should not stop us from going to the stars................

A universe run by Barney The Purple Dinosaur is also ‘theoretically’ (termed ‘hypothetically’ maybe more accurately...) possible.

‘Infinite Multiple Universes’ based on that M-World “universe splits into multiple new additional ones every time two quarks collide” hypothesis (the one that breaks about every other physical law simply to explain the Wave vs Particle Light paradox), which even pulp fiction writers were long ago tired of ...

“So at warp 5 you’re going five times the speed of light?”

Well, in Star Trek the warp scale was more exponential than geometric.

“But that should not stop us from going to the stars................”

That’s not stopping us from going to the stars. Pretty much the entire design of the universe is stopping us.

But beyond that little fact, there is also the fact that everywhere we look in the universe just seems a whole hellofa lot less interesting, appealing, and habitable than the place we are already stuck on.

Thanks! And it ought to be Gene Roddenberry, not Ray Bradbury- I get those pesky SciFi dudes confused....

What the theoretical scientists fail to realize is that, in order to bend space-time to create their ‘worm-hole’, space and time become separated, and nothing can exist within space alone if time is destroyed and space disappears.

I know that first-hand. In a mind-bending theory which imagined, time and space are impossible to separate and still create that which the theorists above propose.
