Memorizing trivial details that while useless in life can be used in an argument on this site to achieve a minor victory in life?
Not only that, but why change it at all? Why continue it at all?
Well, it would be nice if it were smart and entertaining. I don't think many people are looking for a crystal ball in a TV show.
I want it to be smart and entertaining, too. Part of that is being "our future" no matter how fanciful.
By “our future” I just want stories about how humans could be if we dropped our petty issues and hatred towards each other and also there’s aliens and space battles. I don’t think it is going to be a 100% accurate depiction of the future, mainly because I don’t think it’s possible for humans to actually achieve that. But I like to dream and see ships flying through space. I’d also like it to look like cool future stuff, not an attempt to fit the aesthetics of the 1960s into a modern show and act like it’s the future.
UIs went from extremely complicated to increasingly simplified, but spike back up to complicated at some unknown point in the future.
Or the late '20s or early '30s, the Clark Gable thing.
Referring to?
At least not Los Angeles.
I think more Cochrane moved from Earth to AC later in his life. AC would be the logical first star system we'd travel to.
It isn't about Humanity's future, it's about Humanity.
Yes but part of that is tied to humanity's past. Making that past some sort of alternate reality that becomes less and less like our actual history defeats that purpose on a creative and philosophical level.
McCoy said Cochrane read as human and the scientist himself has a Terran surname in addition to recognizing the English language and asking if Kirk and his officers were from Earth. Cochrane was from Earth and later moved to the Alpha Centauri system to live there in his later years.
Born in 2032. Disappeared in 2119 sometime after attending the dedication ceremony for the Warp Five Complex.
He was 31 in First Contact? Post WWIII Earth must age people worse than Tatooine.
It's a hard knock life.
Entertainment. Klingons and Vulcans and Andorians do not exist in real life and never will. It's a fantasy world, and it hasn't tried to be a realistic projection of the future, ever.
Not my point.
The manned mission to Saturn would probably be Colonel Shaun Geoffrey Christopher's Earth-Saturn Probe that was conjectured to take place in or around 2009, though in my fanfic I placed the mission in 2025 and named the early fusion-driven impulse craft he commanded the Titan One.
It just made more sense that a manned mission to Saturn would be launched after the sublight propulsion breakthrough of 2018 mentioned by Marla McGivers in "Space Seed."

The projection visibly jumps whenever it interacts with its environment, though. The person being projected moves around their environment freely, and the projector is trying in real time to make it fit into the environment they are being viewed from. Multiple times we see this in "The Vulcan Hello" and "The Battle of the Binary Stars".
You guys don't even watch the show.
