  1. The president's idea is right, and possible. Cochrane departed Alpha Centauri in 2117 at age 87 only 37 years earlier that present day "Enterprise". Crash lands on planetoid in Gamma Canaris system meets the "Companion" which begins to re-juvenate him-(so James Cromwell could reprise his role in a guest appearance) What a Blast of a Show that Would Be!!!!!) And Archer could end up doing the same thing Kirk did-Leave him be and not report it.


  2. Most of Star Trek deels with the Officers of the various Starships, we know that the officers come from Starfleet Acadamy-a 4 year College. My question is what's the "story" behind the enlisted crew? Where do they get their training, how long is an enlistment, and what exactly is the ranking system for them-besides simply being Crewman x?


  3. Archer stated in the "Hatchery" that his Great-Grandfather fought in the Eugenics War-Eugenics War was established as ended by 1996-"Space Seed"(TOS).

     

    The year is 2154, if we assume Archer is 40 years old, that would put his birthdate around 2114? and if we assume his father was around the age of 30 years old when Archer was born-that would mean Archer's father was born around 2084-(making it hard to work with Zefram Cochrane-as he would already be 54 years old when Archer's father is born!). If we assume again that Archer's grandfather was again around 30ish when Archer's father was born-that yields a conjectural date of 2054-for his Grandfather's birthdate-and one more generation back would give his Great Grandfather's birthdate as 2024-too late for the Eugenics War!. Can anyone work out a mathematical formula, that makes practical sence and allows his great-grandfather to fight in a war which ended n 1996? Or did B&B decide to move the Eugenics War to a later date in the StarTrek chronology? :laugh:


  4. I was just there last week, sure would have liked some company, come on u guys get your butts up here! No seriously, we could have gone to mars n 1965, Saturn by 1970-research it-Project Orion, Project Daedalus, NERVA(Nuclear Engine for Rocket Vehicle Application), VASIMR(Variable Specific Impulse Magnetoplasma Rocket)! Let's Go! :)


  5. I know that in the real world, Gene Roddenberry copied the registry number from his plane tail number, but some "meaning" has to be assigned to it. Example : the U.S. Navy assigns designations like CVN for aircraft carrier nuclear, SSBN for Ballistic Missile Submarine nuclear-so what have the Trek minds came up with for NCC? While I'm on the subject- U.S.S.- i've heard the enterprise called United Space Ship, United Star Ship, United stellar Ship-which is the correct designation?


  6. First off, I thought Reed had alreadly advised the Capt. about not allowing visitors to roam around the ship-they should never been allowed near Engineering, or the Command Center. As for the Computer and the Xindi data-computer should have been encrypted, and backed-up, and transmitted to earth-incase the Enterprise was lost. WHAT KIND OF SHIP IS ARCHER RUNNING ANYWAY! :force:
