Of course with that much time. Somebody should have came up with the idea of using the tractor beam to slowly pull the rock off course.
Hey, I never noticed that before....
- Thread starter Warped9
- Start date
Which is measured in Roddenberrys per hour
You mean this tribe was so primitive, they couldn't even come up with a barber?
Outstanding channeling of one Dr. Zachary Smith. In fact, I've rarely seen better!!!!!! Bravo, sir.
Best not to do the math. It was never Star Trek's strong point.
We do know that the warp drive got fried, which may have had a knock-on effect on the performance of the Impulse Engines.
Couple that with a super speedy sci-fi asteroid (say 0.1% of light) and the numbers almost work!

Oddly, it was not until a few years ago I realised the Bridge consoles had been moved around between Motion Picture and Wrath of Khan
The silly thing is with a little thought the asteroid problem should have been easy enough to solve. Using torpedoes as mines spaced out as a series of charges they could have gradually changed the asteroid's course.
Of course, that changes the drama of the story.
It also doesn't answer why the obelisk's beam didn't shatter the asteroid the way Spock tried to do earlier with the ship's phasers.
It's all in the writing...or not.
The quality of Kirk's hair styling changes over the years. 
Or his syrupping you mean?

Humbly retracted. The moment I was referring to was when Shatner was writhing about on the obelisk platform after being stoned. The "fake" bit of sideburn is a little grayish and it kind of disappears in the sunlight, but it is indeed there.
Some great acting from Shatner in the scene where Miramanee reveals her pregnancy to Kirk. A fly lands on Shatner's forehead (which seems to have a case of pimples), but Shatner the pro just ignores it and doesn't miss a beat.
General comment about the Shat man in season three. He comes back from the season break well above his usual weight, but in the space of four or five episodes the weight just seems to melt off him. Must have been an extreme diet!
Well he did apparently steal Spock's bicycle. So maybe he was riding it around the lot.
Although, in TOS there were seen as energy bolts, not the physical torpedoes stored onboard like the later series.
It wouldn't however have prevented them from turning the ship to face the asteroid, use the main deflector again to "push" themselves further out ahead of it and detonate a torpedo directly in it's path every day.
They didn't have torpedoes that week.
They marked the start of an Enterprise tradition by having them installed on Tuesday
I tend to agree with the idea of there being more than one transporter room. With over 400 crew members aboard it would be illogical to have just one. Just my 2 cents fwiw
Unless the technology is newer than the Constitution class itself? Of course, you would have to discount Enterprise to entertain that possibility.
But I tend to think the ship should have more than one transporter room.
Forget about the torpedoes, All they needed was a sralk and poof goes the asteroid. Or maybe it's a kronk.
