I've know it for years. :p

I love it when my obsessions crosses paths. It's a like a supercharge of geekdom.

But yeah just 32 more - I wonder which ones?

Season 3. I read an article on it.

Chances are he didn't include Season 3 because it has a different opening or something. He also took out 2 episodes that were of different length.

If there's one thing I've learned from watching a lot of sci-fi, especially TV shows, is that the same actors keep poping up. I love it.

That's about right I guess - there were like 24 episodes season 3 though that leaves about 8

Ramplate · 04-28-2012, 12:04 PM

ooops - I posted 32 twice now - I meant 23 so yeah anyway, play on... "I'm slightly Lisdexic i guess"

Whoever wrote this doesn't realize there's a light speed barrier that we can't cross. it will have to fold space instead to have any possibility at all in 30 years - even that is too ambitious

Engineer: Star Trek’s Enterprise ship could be built in 20 years at a cost of $1 trillion

Whether you're a Trekkie or not, you have to admit that there's some sense of wonder toexploring the stars and trying to find life on distant planets. Of course, the U.S.S. Enterprise is a fictional ship, but have you ever put in the thought as to what it would take to actually build it, and when we could get it done if we really put in the effort? The man behind the well-researched site buildtheenterprise.org has, and he's determined that a fully functional Enterprise is only 20 years away if we put in the effort.

Created by a systems and electrical engineer with 30 years' experience, the BuildTheEnterprise site sets out a very specific timeline for the research and construction of such a massive space-related undertaking. The first nine years are dedicated to research, component testing, and drawing up a number of possible blueprints. The following 11 years are dedicated to development, where components will be manufactured and launched into space for assembly.

On year 20, the ship would be ready for a "moon fly by" with full crew and supplies. The plan may seem overly ambitious, but consider that we're already using a number of gadgets that were all but predicted by the Star Trek television series.

The estimated cost of building the Enterprise: about $50 billion a year for the next 20 years — $1 trillion in total. That sounds like a lot of money (because it is), but considering that the United States spent nearly that much on the controversial Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) to bail out banks in 2008, putting a trillion towards making Star Trek a reality suddenly doesn't seem as ludicrous. Yeah, it's still pretty ludicrous, but in a reallycool way.

Asides from the benefits of exploring space, the creator of BuildTheEnterprise believes that the mammoth project would have benefits here on Earth as well. "Above all else — the Enterprise will inspire us," explains the creator. "And some of those inspired by this undertaking will surely be American young people — many of whom will likely become motivated to pursue careers as scientists and engineers." You know, so long as creating a warp drive doesn't wipe out all life in the known universe, as predicted.

I heard about this. Absolutely amazing. I hope to God it happens.

**JBond** · 05-18-2012, 02:53 PM

We're not accepting this as a possiblity...are we?

Ramplate · 05-18-2012, 05:17 PM

won't happen in our lifetimes

Neverending · 05-18-2012, 07:12 PM

We can built an Enterprise. Will it actually work? That's another story. Just think of how many airplanes were built till one actually flew.

Ramplate · 05-19-2012, 03:49 AM

Not to mention rockets and helicopters

FranklinTard · 05-19-2012, 11:55 AM

gotta meet vulcans first.

Fanible · 05-19-2012, 12:17 PM

No, we would meet them second, as a result of having built and flown the ship.

DUH!

Ramplate · 05-19-2012, 12:30 PM

Haven't they been living at Area 51 for the last 60 some odd years?

Fanible · 05-19-2012, 11:55 PM

That's the Ferengis.

sshuttari · 05-20-2012, 01:05 AM

People do realize a Warp Drive can't actually exist it's just a fictional idea... right?

Ramplate · 05-20-2012, 02:36 AM

trying to break the speed of light would give the object doing so much more mass, it would take much more energy to move - more than possible.

Folding space is theoretically possible, but the resulting wormhole would probably not be stable.
No one has ever located an actual wormhole as of yet - but the mathematics supposedly work.

Doctor Kaku said he would use huge solar wind sails if he were to design a spacecraft capable of traveling extremely fast across vast distances using as little on board fuel or energy effort as possible for the journey

**JBond** · 05-20-2012, 03:20 AM

We could always increase the speed of light.

Ramplate · 05-20-2012, 04:13 AM

The speed of light in a vacuum is a universal constant - you can slow light by putting it through stuff, but so far only the expansion of the universe can go faster.

The jury is still out on Neutrinos.

**JBond** · 05-20-2012, 05:23 AM

Uh huh, thanks. I was making a joke. It's a Futurama reference.

Ramplate · 05-20-2012, 05:46 AM

I figured that but I thought I'd show my smarty brainynessnes
