The UK, the world, and above all Her Majesty the Queen, have lost someone irreplaceable. A great character and a great man.
Two months short of his ton as well.

Re: The Rotten Pumpkin-Faced Manchild is OUT!!!
Until either a) the Supreme Court finds in Biden's favour or b) Biden's inauguration, I believe the old adage about chickens holds true. My source for this is the last four years.

Re: Design flaws - Suspension of disbelief
Speed. TOS had them zooming around the galaxy willy-nilly, treating journeys of thousands of light years as a minor side trip.

Re: NEXT GENERATION TECHNICAL MANUAL HUH?
I suppose I should back up and explain, I'm a mechanical engineer. Symbols and something to the power of, would've clued me in to larger amounts. :) but to show what I mean, this is (exactly) how it is written in this copy.

Re: NEXT GENERATION TECHNICAL MANUAL HUH?
I wish I could screen shot the tech manual, I did a cut and paste in the Quotations directly from the book. The copy I have may be Americanized as it doesn't have a (^) in any of the listed numbers.

Re: Trek Iron Man armor
This whole discussion also comes with why doesn't Starfleet possess armor or at least a setup for their people. Best we got was the security officers in the original Trek movies that had some set up like a helmet and body armor. The helmet seems to be a bit odd but it might be more to protect head ...
