Instead of venting heat, wouldn't it be more efficient not to produce it?

You are right about the lack of thermal conductivity in space, but the problem with venting heat is only an issue when systems are running and you are actually generating heat.

I mean, if you have 500 people shoved together in a tin can in outer space, wouldn't just their body heat pose a risk of pushing the ship to dangerous interior temperatures if heat isn't vented somehow?
 
So you think it takes no energy to sustain breathable air, recycle that air, and provide gravity across the whole ship? Those are the top three elements of life support on a starship.

Gravity is not part of life support, people don't start dying because there's no gravity, otherwise how would the astronauts survive for months at a time in Earth's orbit?
 
On a starship, it's part of life support. Try to fix things or poop with no gravity.Life support is not just breathing.
 
Yeah, Gravity might not be essential to stay alive, but there's no reason not to classify it with the life support systems. It makes more sense there than anywhere else. The Replicators are probably classified that way too.
 
HOW MANY ANDY'S DOES THIS EPISODE GET?

6

I've only seen it once.

Rewatches may change this, but I wanted a gut result.


I gotta ask... yell.... or scream!

Why Gomez as a legacy character?

She was the worst.

The episode loses 4 points just cause of her.

Then there's the new class ship, it's purdy, and is a lovely homage to one of my favs. Yet this was not enough to get any Andys recovered.
The twist ending was a good cliff hanger! Really came outta left field, again not gaining any Andys back.
 
The usual suspects are claiming this episode ripped off a RedLetterMedia skit (which was mocking discovery), because they also did a situation where they had to release all the hull plating.

Podcast with 2 writers from the Goldbrrgs reviewing each episode of TNG.
Matt & Andy rate each episode with Andys(like Emmys, Oscars, Tonys)
I highly recommend for any Trek fan.

You lost me at podcast.

Matt is also Matt Mira from After Trek. Personally, I love TNC! But Matt is not super popular 'round these parts.

Seriously guys, he's really fun! He was just so nervous on After Trek, oh man. I felt so bad for him.
