I appreciate Stoicism as a philosophy.

Stoic as in stiff upper lip non feeling and denial of emotions? Not helpful.

Do not recommned.

 

[Set Harth]

If you wanna blow up an enemy's homeworld a black hole is a great thing to fall into. Otherwise: meh.

KIRK: V-G-E-R ...V-O-Y-A-G-E-R ...Voyager! ...Voyager VI?
DECKER: NASA. National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Jim, this was launched more than three hundred years ago.
KIRK: Voyager series, designed to collect data and transmit it back to Earth.
DECKER: Voyager VI ...disappeared into what they used to call a black hole.
KIRK: It must have emerged sometime on the far side of the Galaxy and fell into the machine's planet's gravitational field.

Tangential science side note: As a TMP-lover I hate to admit that anything from the film is outdated, but isn’t the thinking now that a black hole’s central singularity births a new, inaccessible “daughter” universe, rather than leading elsewhere within the same one? (I’m not even thinking about spaghettification, here.)
