	Somebody must be breaking into Scotty's stash of exotic whiskey. So this fellow figured out how to make warp engines? Is his name Zephram Cochrane? ____________ Bob DeWoody

	Nah, remember the episode where Kirk transported into a replica and they tricked him into giving up his DNA? ____________

	Poor old Dan...think he should make sure his server is up to speed 1st....:) It's down at the moment. Also. he'd better start building the space dock 1st. ____________

	Flipping heck how many years did it take to build the ISS, and we had shuttles then! You could probably build on on the ground, but never get it into space, even if we had a space dock we ain't got the warp engines .... Lovely scifi dream but not in this century.

	Besides warp engines, there are other big problems. One is gravity plating. Another is replicators. There are no force fields. No phasers. No sensors.

	I know alot is missing and possibly not possible for a long while but lets get the shell together and get those girls in and on post tight Confedearation Milatery uniforms...so say we all

	I know I would rather see the Enterprise built than another Titannic lol

	but it would all still be Made in China. They better have a net big enough to catch all the pieces when they fall apart xD

	Actually warp engines don't require power they require attention geometry details... I recommend a starter frame of a submarine connected to two destroyers for stress testing in the ocean of connecting the warp boundary pontoons with with tubes from nose of destroyers to the submarine below... A circular hover-platform of some kind would serve well as the saucer section attached with a tube below to the nose of the submarine... We have plenty of extra dead shpis laying around in graveyards... I agree, I have no idea what the human race is waiting for to build something interesting... But anyway what do I know, I am just another dumb drunken Scotsman pretending reality means something... :) ____________ Electrons started spinning, electrons are still spinning and electrons will be spinning tomorrow to the best of our knowledge therefore either change in acceleration is persistent or friction is fractally less than understood.

	With Rodin Coil style geometric winding patterns we are closer than we think... Stable controlled spinning magnetic fields...

	And the name on the piece of paper claiming I was alive at some point is Paul Garry McKirdy Jr., but then that was too just another piece of paper... If anyone would like more of the details I have already drawn up feel free to message me privately. ____________ Electrons started spinning, electrons are still spinning and electrons will be spinning tomorrow to the best of our knowledge therefore either change in acceleration is persistent or friction is fractally less than understood.

	Besides warp engines, there are other big problems. One is gravity plating. Another is replicators. There are no force fields. No phasers. No sensors. No life support either, bottled air only lasts so long and subs can surface to get fresh air, in space there is no air. Plus the closest to impulse engines are ion engines and their pretty new, no idea how many would be needed, plus Ya need a way to break orbit. ____________ BSG Anthem My Facebook page

	Perpetual motion, oh now I can see how it all works. He should have mentioned that right off, so I could have better used my time by going to the bathroom or whatever.

All they need is water for the creating of O2 and H2 which will fuel hydrogen burning power plants much like the space shuttle and ISS. They suggest a fairly robust Ion Drive that I consider the same as the Enterprise's Impulse drive. The planned mission would only take 3 months to arrive at Mars with this drive as opposed to 9 months with gravity assist alone. We shuttle food and supplies to the space station routinely. How much more difficult would it be to launch supplies in advance of the ships launch and have it catch up to the supplies enroute much like a pacman game ____________ Proud member of TSWB.

	Like i proposed before have a ozone layer in the shell of the ship. This would simulate the earths upper atmoshpere and catch most of the radiation. Better yet store the onboard water in a shell around the ship. As I recall from military training water is a great dampener of radiation ____________ Proud member of TSWB.
