History, Politics And Current Affairs

As I said before, Enterprise killed my love of Star Trek. The Kelvin verse movies were a mixed bag. The first episode of Discovery didn't help.


They need to remove Kurtzman and let Star Trek rest. When they bring it back, they will need someone with vision.

People have pointed out, this is this the first time in a decade no new Star Trek is in the planning stage. ST: Academy is finishing filming its second season, given the ratings I doubt if we get a third.

I'm not watching it, but isn't it set post burn so isn't the Federation smaller?

Things are getting interesting around the globe.

Not answering when the military calls will be fatal.

Very interesting. I saw a tv version of something like this. The Ghost population came from the stars, refugees from an interstellar war. We even know some of their names; Adama, Starbuck, Apollo…..

Stop the Fracking Music!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My blood would have been drawn opening the package.

Of all the stupid things to do. If you screw up and come clean people will understand. If you cover it up or don't cooperate, they'll look for ways to screw you up. It makes sense if the only thing the company cares about is the quarterly stock review, gotta think of the shareholders! *rlyneedsabar...

The two things I want most in most in the room are the space and the table.

It is indeed a Big Bus. :D Not so much stopped by a cook with an interesting past, or a wry back, but rather, being foiled by a Swedish chef, a frog talk show host, a bear comedian, a gonzo stuntman, a lively drummer and an Academy Award winning diva. With that bunch, I'd rather face the navy cook ...

Do Earth Orbit Rendezvous, FH for crew / lander and FH 2 for booster to Lunar orbit.


One thing that worries me about Starship, if you look at recent lunar lander some have tipped over due to how tall they are.

NASA is adding the equivalent of Apollo 9 & 10 to test the lander in low Earth orbit and maybe Lunar orbit. NASA want to increase the flight rate at least once a year from eve...

Bernard the older I get the more I realize difference between malice and incompetence isn't that much. It's probably a good thing I don't carry my Shillelagh around. I'd be doing major jail time.

If 'harmless', that container ship's bridge-watch survivors will have some explaining to do... If they ignored the attempts to contact them, would that constitute Barratry? Could that lead to felony homicide charges against the surviving officers? I suspect Saddam will not be a happy camper after h...
