[ So, Luceti, you have Kirk showing up today on our totally hi-grade, super deluxe communication system (haha, yeah right). Anyways, he's there, and he currently has a copy of George Orwell's "1984" displayed in hand. ]
So... I have an honest to god sort of question for everyone.
How many of you ever thought or believed the stuff in books like this would come true in the future? Or better yet, does anyone actually live in a world like these books describe?
Because, really, the twenty-first century view of the future is... interesting.

Okay, that's it. New dream: going into outer space!
Re: [Voice]
Just stay out of Klingon space and you'll be fine. It can get kind of boring though, when you have to do long jumps.

Long jumps?
Re: [Voice]
Light years are a measure of distance, not time. Light has a max speed, it only goes so fast. The further away you travel, the more time it takes and even multiple jumps depending on the strain of your engines. Sometimes you have to come out and let them - well, reboot is the easiest term, like a rest stop on a long road trip. You can't risk the nuclear core going boom on you. Sort of ruins the whole traveling in space thing.
