    will travel ever deeper into space and will not return to earth

    I can see it now — far in the future, mankind’s first true starship is on its shake-down cruise around the solar system. Suddenly, WHAM! They’ve hit something. The hull’s depressurizing. Only quick, heroic action will safe the crew…

    They survive, and find the bit of debris they hit. Goddamned Roddenberry and his wife’s ashes, once more kicking science in the teeth.

    “Nurse Chapel, Bones needs you in sick bay right away!”…

    “What has Kirk been layin’ up with green broads again?”…

    RIP, Bon Voyage, a l’infiniti et au-dela, ou aucun homme n’a vecu avant..!

    Yikes!

    This reminds me of Popular Science circa 1960.

    How cool!

  5. Rob Crawford says:

    Ya know what else? I actually LIKED “Enterprise”. I had no problem with Bakula once more playing a time-traveller, and the rest of the cast was pretty good. There were some bits that made a mockery of the later series (what, didn’t Archer file a detailed report about the Borg? Did Picard not remember that bit of history? No one in Picard’s crew was an “ancient history” buff who remembered the incident?), but it also had some nice touches. Archer’s building an alliance with the Andorrians one favor at a time… The Tholians being more bad-ass and mysterious than anyone ever let on… Oh, and the mirror universe episode was PERFECT.

    I could have done without the time travel sub plot. And the silly “they’re remaking the universe!” macguffin.

  6. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    Rob, you expected consistency from Trek?

    Classic Trek sometimes retconned the entire history of the Federation during the commercial break. :-)

    I was all set to like Enterprise, but just never got into it. Likewise DS9 and Voyager.

  7. Patrick Carroll says:

    Whenever the wife kicks me for being too harsh, or nonlinear, I will point her to this post and beg a little peace.

    And be granted surcease, from all her shit, dammit.

    OT, but cooler than all get-out: Treehugger’s Worst Nightmare.

    Before any of those who might have wandered in start hyperventilating, look at the trees — their spacing and their uniform size. This is a tree farm. Cutting them down does about as much to Gaia and her fuzzy critters as harvesting those soy beans you live on. Maybe more. You probably much like seeing what happens when a rabbit goes through a combine.

  9. OT, but cooler than all get-out: Treehugger’s Worst Nightmare.

    what? is it a waste of paper? ;P

  10. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    Quite the contrary, Maggie. It’s the beginning portion of the process that leads to pure, white, soft toilet paper. The really wasteful 4-ply quilted stuff.

  11. erm, check your link, SBP.

  12. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    Whoops!

    Blushing…. I meant that for Jeff.

    Try this one.

  13. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    Some of the comments on that video are priceless.

    Grow hemp you dumb asses and you wont need to rape the forest!

    thats just fucked up
    anouther grate way to kill the planet

    You know what is really awesome about this machine. If it keeps running, we will not have any oxygen to breathe. Great Job!

    Although I did like:

    Remember guys that these are special IKEA trees unable to live in the wild.

    Yep, the trees in the “forest” totally grow in straight lines like that.

    Ever notice how most treehuggers seem to have never been off the pavement in their lives?

  14. Bob Reed says:

    Dan,
    Where did the post by Jeff go that was up overnight?

    I was looking forward to reading that thread for sure…

  15. apotheosis says:

    Our Jew, who art in Colorado, why hast thou forsaken us?

    That thread looked promising.

  16. serr8d says:

    I was readying a reply on that post, refreshed, and..

    I guess I killed it.

  17. Bob Reed says:

    Any shot at it being cached somewhere..?

    Wasn’t the title soething like, “A special guest appearance by Jeff”; or something along those lines..?

  18. Mikey NTH says:

    Unless they hit re-entry…

  19. SarahW says:

    There is a header in google but no cache. It’s gone, baby.

  20. Bob Reed says:

    Sarah,
    Did you stick around for it to develop? Did it become an all out flame war or something? I wonder why it has been deleted; to spare PJM’s feelings?

    It doesn’t seem like Jeff to walk on eggshells…

  21. Rob Crawford says:

    Ever notice how most treehuggers seem to have never been off the pavement in their lives?

    What’s amusing is the number of them who not only fit that mold, but then sneer at anyone who has but doesn’t toe the line: farmers, hunters, etc.

  22. Sticky B says:

    If those techies that are building this special spaceship fors Mrs. R’s ashes had a hair on their collective asses, they’d rig a photovoltaic system on there to generate electricity from whatever star happened to be in the vicinity and put in some type of Ipod type of device that played “Stairway to Heaven” on a loop.

    “When she get’s there she knows…….”

  23. Spies, Brigands, and Pirates says:

    Rob, yes indeed.

    And the few of them who do occasionally venture into the outdoors invariably do so with their titanium espresso makers, freeze-dried food, Goretex, and all that other stuff that they apparently think gets chipped out of flint by happy indigenous peoples living in a communal society.
