Sure, but no one said something about uniform. Water in form of ice can only survive in eternal shadows on the moon, meaning only in polar craters, or chemically bound to other substances like dust, where it is also protected from the extreme temperatures. But to find water in one polar crater means...

The impact site alone (a region about 20 to 30 meters in Diameter and about 10 to 15 meters deep) is reported to contain about 20+ gallons or 90 litres of water in frozen form. The region in permanent shadows in Cabeus is about 20,000 soccer fields large. Do your math (although not every spot may co...

I thought about that also, but LOX (liquid oxygen) has a density of roughly 1,14 kg/l making it only marginally smaller and denser than water, compared to be a trillion times more dangerous despite the necessity to keep it under control which can be extremely difficult given the dangers in space and...

Simply because what is going to be reduced in size like cpu's and internal network already uses up only a fraction of space and is furthermore implemented in casings you can't reduce, because otherwise wou wouldn't be able to operate. If you go on long term missions into deep space with only few sup...

You can't miniaturize - at least without some freaky nebula radiation - people, supplies they need (don't come with replicators cause you actually don't see one in TOS), water, things they encounter and might want to examine on board, computer-frames (for you have to use your fingers on them and see...

Actually the current Enterprise fits its role better, than a 289m long Starship. Especially if it has to serve a military AND scientific purpose. Even todays cruisers are almost 200m in length and just swimming and shooting occasionally. Going through the final frontier and exploring a billion of ne...

Well. He ain't gonna like it then... although some of the reasons why the Enterprise is less than 750m is just a point of view rather than reason. There is nothing like "too big" for a starship to be entertaining

What is a Bernd? And why does it chew arms?

Well... not additional, but changed in the dialogue compared to the released version, because... how was her name?... was important to the cheating in the Kobayashi Maru test.

The deleted scenes section on BluRay show incomplete FX-shots of the Klingons surrounding the Narada, some additional shots with Kirk and the green lady, some prison scenes, Spocks birth, a scene with Sarek and the old Spock... and I think thats it. Additional information give the interior of the Ke...

Just watchin them and finally we get canon information: -) On the length of the Enterprise: 2379,75 feet or 725,35 meters -) furthermore it is hinted, that the captain of the Kelvin descended down into the engineering section via the turbolift and NOT down to the hangar bay thus one of the YATIS in ...

Admiral Richard Barnett says: "With our primary fleet engaged in the Laurentian System..."

Note: He says "primary", not entire. Meaning the bulk of starfleet is engaged in a major maneuver of some or any kind, but it doesn't mean, that all ships are there.

The reason why - in this case - the Klingons wouldn't do that if they manage to break through the frontline is, that even in ST starship ressources are finite. What good is it to have a dozen or so warships head towards earth with its active defensive systems, when they cannot bring any slow freight...

It's not like the Borg, or the Breen, or the Xindi were able to attack Earth... Borg: Vastly superior technology + transwarp capabilities - both times the ship was intercepted by a federation fleet not stationed at earth. Furthermore the first time it wouldn't have made any differences. Breen: Full...

One key difference there is that we know where every ship on earth is, and no one could just appear with little or no warning in New York harbor. The naval analogy doesn't really work there. As we have seen with the freighter "Arctic Sea"... :roll: We only know of the positions if the pos...
