Yep and the Enterprise would be easy to build, in sections then lift it into space like they do in Star Trek. The ship is only 950 feet long and we have some of the technology they had on the show like ion engines and rcs thrusters among other stuff.

Agreed... as much as it bothers me the funding cut had to happen.

I still do hope that at some point in my lifetime space travel will be commercialized and space exploration takes a serious upward turn.

It depends on how short of a race.

Turbowned · 03-14-2013, 10:43 AM

100ft?

What's the next thread... FR-S vs. Cessna?

Voodoo Rufus · 03-14-2013, 10:47 AM

Baby steps.....Stargate's BC303 and 304! Built by the Air Force! Oh wait, they would beat the Enterprise for top speed (304 with ZPM powah).

My vote goes to comparing the YF-22 to the twins. Both vehicles take so many lateral G's that the next generation will have to be unmanned as there is no G suit that can allow a human body to withstand those forces.

Please note: this is only true with upgraded tires for the twins.

If you're calling it a POS for leaking fuel while on the runway then you don't really know much about the Blackbird at all.
