This weblog appears to get a good ammount of visitors. How do you advertise it? It gives a nice unique spin on things. I guess having something real or substantial to talk about is the most important thing.

It’s good to hear the my childhood favorite show foretold all the technological wonders that are now mostly common in our daily lives. It only goes to prove right that “what man can conceive man can achieve.”

@tom b

There’s no doubt whatsoever that Star Trek was made for grown up people who like to have their neurons stimulated, while Star Wars is more directed at people who like heroes and exploding spaceships. There’s a place in my hear for both of them.

2063, not 2053.
Also, don’t give up hope: a lot can happen in 55 years.

Consider, in 1895, cars and airplanes essentially did not exist (let alone space craft); computers weren’t even a figment of the imagination; power was limited to mostly coal plants (or worse) etc.

55-years later, and you’re at 1950: cars are everywhere, jet travel is starting to become mainstream; the V-2 rocket has helped pave the way for the 1st satellite launch (to occur in less than 10 years); the power of the atom has been harnessed; the earliest computers (mainframes with punch cards) are coming online, etc.

55-years is a LONG time.

**edit**

and besides, the alien crash at Roswell is chiefly responsible for the technology we have today

the cool tech gadgets no doubt played a part in the success of the series both TV and film, but the bonding and synergy of races encompassing an entire planet on the Enterprise is what makes a mere TV show a watershed event in Human History. the show, more than anything else, illustrated that everyone has something to contribute and should be proud and accepting of who they are no matter the degree of their apparent differences.

we may never be able to bend the fabric of time, but Star Trek did and continues to bend the Fabric of Human Intercourse in a way that we can only hope is a part of Mankind’s future.

I received an innoculation from an air-based injector back in the sixties.

If you convert enough energy to mass, would you ‘bend’ space/time?

Star Trek, however did spur a lot more talk on faster than light travel, or at least ways for high speed spaceships. Look at ion propulsion.. that is the next movement in space travel… and is very simular to the “impulse” drives used on Star Trek.

Speed right now is space travel’s biggest problem — and hurdle as well.

@tom b In the Star Wars comics the Sith were prejudiced against any non-human species, but the movie was just glib fun. Roddenberry rocked for really using his show to appeal to higher ideals.
