Happy First Contact Day!

In 45 years Zefram Cochrane will invent warp drive and we will make First Contact with Vulcanians. Sure, we have to get through WWIII to get there. But it should be worth the price.
Right?
Anybody?
 
Er, ... if you survive WWIII, maybe it's worth the price. Otherwise, certainly not.

Based on some rough calculations one out of every 16 people will die. That mean you have a 93.75% chance of surviving. That's not great, but somewhat good. Just avoid the big cities.
 
I'm going to invest heavily in booze and build a shanty town outside of Bozeman, Montana. I should be rich by mid-2063.
 
I'll skip WW III (and the Bell Riots) if you don't mind. I'm not THAT wedded to canon . . . :)

Exactly. In my house, we skip over WWIII and the Eugenics Wars that preceded them barely happened at all!! ;)

Happy First Contact Day. Some ideas for what to do today for any Trek fans having trouble:
  • A great day to use a weapon of mass destruction to inaugurate an era of peace.
  • Or get blended listening to Oobie Doobie.
  • Or graft organic skin onto a special someone's endoskeltetal structure (what a cold description for such a beautiful gift).

We did a pretty good job skipping the Eugenics Wars. I'm afraid we may be starting World War III early to compensate.

But then we might skip First Contact, and go straight to post-atomic horror.
