Pyat is Star Trekkin'!

[pyat]

I hate the new Star Trek movie already!

But I'm willing to believe I could be wrong.

And, frankly, I haven't bothered to see a new Trek movie in the theatres since Insurrection, which came out in 1998, and I didn't like it... and I didn't watch Enterprise, and I largely stopped watching Voyager after that awful mystery episode with the dog, which aired in 1995.

So, really, I'm not sure I'm exactly their target market, these days.

Darn kids.

I don't care how good the anti-gravs are... it still the equivalent of building an ocean-liner on a mountain top and then hauling it via mules to the seaside. If we can do the International Space Station now, why wouldn't they do the Enterprise then?

Oh. Yeah. Not as "iconic" a shot of little rebel Jimmy looking at his future.

Are they flying mules made of space-age polymers?

If you went to NASA's ISS division and said, "Okay, you can build it down here and we can just haul it into orbit with a bunch of Sikorskys," do you think they'd have a problem with it?

I'd think, in the future, that launching a large scale building operation in space would still be far easier than it would be to build it on Earth, then haul the whole bloody thing into space. ;-) Just by virtue of energy expenditures; why use anti-gravs when you can work in zero-gravity?

Space suits are really itchy?
