ATTN: Star Trek fans - build the Enterprise

[ac3_snow]

One guy is planning on building the starship enterprise, not a scale model, not a life size replica.... an actual real size working ship. I havn't looked to closely at his plans yet as I'm studying .
From what I understand he believes it is possible and the plan is to assemble it in orbit as the actual thing is so large it would be near impossible to launch from earth.

Reported in the news : http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology...nterprise-plan

And the actual website where all the details are: http://www.buildtheenterprise.org/

It doesn't sound like he is quite as nutty as one might think, I 'm sure plenty of people will disagree tho.

Its kind of old news.

And without a working warp drive whats the point.???

[mashman]

If he started with the teleporter he wouldn't have to build it on earth.

[Nova.]

only 1 trillion?

[Flip]

Its only the first hundred miles that is difficult.

He would be better to build an orbital tether then everybody could benefit

[mashman]

Praps NASA could finally get around to building that rail gun for launching rockets.

[White trash]

What a fucken lunatic.

Edit: Interesting website though.

The metal(s) for building the Enterprise doesn't even exist [or if it does, won't be available in sufficient quantities to make it viable] nor the matter/anti-matter generators for even just power generation and thrust for sub-space travel.

We're only at the stage where we're only just learning how to throw one atom of matter and anti-matter into one another to simulate the Big Bang and look at how big and [relatively] crude that device is.

Better to build it in Minecraft, at least that'd be possible and 'to scale'...

If I was the love child of Seven Of Nine and Captain Janeway (don't ask how I was conceived it would blow your mind) would that make me automatic choice to captain this new Starship? Put it this way, if I wanted to do it, resistance would be futile.

Well, it could just putt around and blow its whistle!

I'm from Iowa. I only work in space.

You gotta think of the more important things...

Like Buck Rogers had Colonel Wilma in it. She was hotter than Seven of Nine.

[Maha]

How would they launch it?....
Some that is almost kilometer long and 300 mts wide...that would take some catapult.

Uhura. (in ST:TOS)
