They have
Alaska had several TEG units used to support "remote sensing stations" but people freaked out when they found out that they were "RADIOACTIVE".
Some Natives have blamed every stillbirth, ugly child or imaged ill on 'em.
They were pulled out in the early 90s.

"Ok, I'm a Star Trek buff, but I don't remember when warp 10 was exceeded that one time. What happened? I remember when the Kelvans took over the Enterprise and it would take hundreds of years to reach Andromeda galaxy, and only their descendants would see it."
i think that was it, or maybe they refer to trans-warp drive. ST internal consistency is after-the-fact for so much of even new material, not to mention a 40-year old tv show, that it could be either?

I don't remember when warp 10 was exceeded that one time. I don't either...I was thinking that it may have been related to the whole sling-shot-around-the-sun-time-travel-thing....but that has happened more than once.
I'll have to research this a bit.

In the last episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation, the upgraded
Enterprise goes to (IIRC) "Warp 13".
The way this was explained is that the warp scale had simply been recalibrated.

That's a very interesting chart. It conflicts with something I recall reading a long time ago. What I remember reading is that speed = c * wf^3. This was probably in the "starfleet technical manual" that was sold 30 years ago.

There are actual milestones 9.3 Billion miles from the sun? Do they have them every mile?The Romans put them there on their way to Andromeda. ;)

hurumphh! - Not a word about my Burma Shave poem in post 36, - and mine was more apropo, too, even if it didn't have pretty pictures! Great poets are so often underappreciated. Perhaps, a more robust poem would draw accolades:
There once was a girl from ...
Oh, nevermind. I'd just have to explain it to the DU trolls.
