You know those geeky Star Trek fans who swear there's solid science behind the show? Send them this article showing that our greatest scientific minds can't even get a stupid little rocket passed the stratosphere. Maybe James Doohan's ashes are weighing it down.
I mean, hey, I'd love teleporting technology, but this article shows why we should first focus on getting normal, everyday things to work properly. Isn't it amazing that NY has had a mass transit system since 1878 and I still can't take the subway without wanting to Top Pop someone on the MTA?

Reminds me of a History Channel program I caught once called Star Trek Tech. History channel programs are ultra lame these days. They air ridiculous shows like star wars tech, batman tech, and a gazillion shows about UFOs. Oh they also have shows about truckers too. It's like they discovered that real history isn't worth watching anymore so instead they produce documentaries on the plausibility of warp drive and death stars. WTF!?
History Channel used to be entirely dedicated to Hitler and airplanes. I remember they ran out of things to say about Hitler so they aired something like, "The Secret Diaries of Hitler's Secretary's Cousin".
But at least that shit was real. Now the History Channel is all about made-up stuff, like you mentioned. And they tie in their programming with action flicks. I wouldn't be surprised if they had Mummy week during the new Brandon Frasier flick.
