Scientists want to build a space station INSIDE an asteroid | Rotary Table Shot Blast Equipment

Along roads that cut through the 520 square miles of Brecon Beacons National Park, the 600LT revealed what British car fans already know: The Welsh tourist board ought to add driving to sailing, windsurfing, and all the other outdoor activities it promises thrill-seeking visitors.

The idea that Amanda would greet Michael with such spiritual language is really interesting. It even puts a fresh spin on the role of Alice and Wonderland in Michael’s life … and in Spock’s. At least at this point, it seems that Spock couldn’t relate to his mother in these human empathetic ways. Maybe he simultaneously resented Michael and learned from her, alluding directly to the conversation between Michael and Sarek in the episode. Some wonderful layers of meaning, played with great precision and gravitas by all the actors. Really, really nice.

That bit on the bridge where they drop out of warp at the debris/asteroid field and the entire bridge was spouting off things to each other – I LOVED that. Trek gets me so hyped when they show off why these people are on the bridge of a ship.

How to use it: You know how to blow; just aim that big nozzle under your feet until the dirt flies away.

Better read all those papers and reports that have been published in the last 40 years, Cherry PickerLots of work for you to catch up on

The state’s two gas lobby groups — the West Virginia Oil and Natural Gas Association and the Independent Oil and Gas Association of West Virginia — argue in a joint legal brief that, if their current practices are curtailed in any way or their reading of the law is overturned, it “will effectively eliminate future oil and gas development in West Virginia.”

I actually thought they spent plenty of time on that planet. The more time you spend on a pre-warp world the more the danger of contamination. Speaking of time, here is an example of how I think Discovery would work even better if it was only a streaming show and they did not have to factor in that it’s on broadcast TV in Canada the commercial breaks and all because I prefer the long runtime of last week’s episode. Otherwise enjoyed the classic Star Trek feel of this episode and I love the dynamic forming between Burnham and Pike.

The Klingon War only lasted about a year, so it’s totally conceivable they’ve had the red/blue/gold color uniforms for a year (maybe more) as an exclusive style for the flagships.

The whole section in the asteroid field had a very strong Star Trek 2009 vibe to me. The Hiawatha interiors reminded me a lot of the USS Kelvin; the roller coaster shuttle flight thru the asteroids felt like the kind of thing JJ Abrams would love; the late Lt. Connolly was the very definition of one dimensional; when someone that obnoxious bites it you almost feel like cheering and that feels lazy and manipulative to me. It was the unfortunate engineer from ST 2009 all over again.

Acknowledged. LOL But I had thought I’d read enough information beforehand to lead me to think the coordination between the author and the showrunners would be closer. I don’t know if it was this article but this interview with the author includes the kind of stuff that made me think this. Again, I agree with you, I shouldn’t have held my breath and expected it to be canon.
