    Live long and prosper
    If I remember my Vulcan history correctly, they're already well into space by this time. Maybe we'll find them... ;)

    Yep. Maybe Gene Roddenberry was a Vulcan who was secretly getting us ready for the meetup.

    In the 1970s, Star Trek [-]dorks[/-] fans lobbied to get NASA to name one of the shuttle prototypes after the Enterprise, methinks that its time for them to start lobbying for NASA to get some real money so they can build a warp drive.

    We won't have anything with anything required for a powerplant for warp. Best is oceanic and local planetary bodies for now. Lot of stuff to explore in our own back yard. :)

    IME, drunks tend to generate a lot of scrap metal. ;)

    I thought it was a gas giant and an asteroid belt they found a few days ago? Did they find rocky planets too?!

    More fringe science gets accomplished by drunks with access to scrap metal.

    Unfortunately, being drunk, they forget to fucking document everything.
