I saw a cut on TV some years later that had a scene in sickbay…grumpygecko (38)in bitcoin • 7 years agoRE: Anybody else experiencing this problem on coinmarketcap? Is this the end?It's just another periodic correction. Most of those altcoins are derivative of Bitcoin, so when it drops in value, so will they. People said it was the end for crypto when Bitcoin dropped from…grumpygecko (38)in startrek • 7 years agoRE: Star Trek Discovery's Transporter Room Still Doesn't Look Like The Original SeriesTransporter tech is probably the most difficult of the Trek technologies to actually become a reality. Current thinking suggests that it may be possible. But the downside is that you'd have to…grumpygecko (38)in startrek • 7 years agoRE: Star Trek Discovery's Transporter Room Still Doesn't Look Like The Original SeriesThey backed themselves into a corner by setting the new series in a period where the design ethic was established 50 years ago.

The USS Discovery can be a different beast as…grumpygecko (38)in startrek • 7 years agoRE: Star Trek Discovery's Transporter Room Still Doesn't Look Like The Original SeriesThat's the problem with setting the series in the TOS era. It should have the look and feel of TOS with the gold, blue and red 2-piece uniforms and the interior ship designs should be reminiscent of…grumpygecko (38)in space • 7 years agoRE: Voyager 1 : An Interstellar Message in a BottleYou're entitled to your opinion.

The books and comics aren't canon either, and they're sanctioned by CBS and Paramount. Star Trek Continues is an independent production so unless CBS (who own the rights to the…grumpygecko (38)in asteroid • 7 years agoRE: Possibility Of An Asteroid Hitting Earth Very High, warns Scientists.Meteors hit Earth every day. 70% of Earth is covered by water so any sizeable incoming meteors over that area are unlikely to be noticed, unless they're spotted by ships and/or satellites.
