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.

“Captain Picard says ‘engage’ and the ship moves.”

Star Trek - TNG “Engage”
Some things can never be repeated enough.
Make it so!

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.

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.

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.

Screw NASA. Just find the Star Gate and the technology will come to us.

NASA and Star Trek killed space travel, but not in the way people think. Star Trek got nerd’s expectations way up, and when NASA proved there were no hot green skinned women to be had on the moon or mars, people kind of lost interest in space travel.

I've read NASA projects a cost of 50 Billion to put Men on Mars and return them safely home AFTER they have lived there several months so Mars is in a position for the ship to return to Earth.

However we spent three times that amount bailing out GM so they could build the Chevy Volt.

Star Trek didn't kill space travel, Politicians did.

Easy? Ask Chief Engineer(and miracle worker) Montgomery Scott if it was easy?

That flying bucket of bolts was seconds away from blowing up or burning down each and every time he would leave engineering to take a dump. And there wasn’t a single power conduit that hadn’t been rewired, cross circuited or blown out three times per episode.

Easy? Not by a long shot.
