hopesdead@startrek.websiteOPto Daystrom Institute@startrek.website•Why did Richard Daystrom get a research organization named after them?English5·9 hours agoI didn’t notice this before but in Alpha canon Daystrom Institute was founded in 2256, before TOS. So this speech doesn’t make sense. The writer probably didn’t know that either.
EDIT: I need to clarify that this information is from “Chose Your Pain”, so it came along after “The Ultimate Computer”.

hopesdead@startrek.websiteOPto Daystrom Institute@startrek.website•How long would a shuttle from Earth to Vulcan take?English2·6 days agoYeah, if you go back and watch the video I posted on YouTube, the welcome message that plays when you’re in line specifically says shuttle. It would’ve made more sense if they were runabouts but there’s no evidence that runabouts are even used during the period of Picard season 3.
Based on what I can remember from DS9, runabouts are faster and generally used for longer trips.
EDIT: Is the Federation even adhering to the warp five speed limit anymore? I know it doesn’t get addressed after “Force of Nature”, but is there anything suggesting that the speed limit has been dropped completely by the 25th century?
EDIT 2: The site I linked says 28.19 days.

At least I wasn’t attending a bat’leth tournament.
hopesdead@startrek.websiteto memes@lemmy.world•My wife has this meme for when someone tries to shame her for me liking to play video games and build Legos/Gundam models.4·10 days agoI’d send them that clip of Will Arnet being corrected on LEGO Masters about the grammatical plural of LEGO. That would be my reply. At least criticize them with proper grammar.
It comes with the powers.
My dream: to be that person who gets to yell “It’s Morphin time!” and save the day.
hopesdead@startrek.websiteto Fuck Cars@lemmy.world•An american city named DeKalb, Illinois says it desperately needs money. But the city council so far refuses to tax gas stations or increase parking fees. Instead, they consider a tax on groceries. English3·11 days agoAre you referencing Parks and Recreation?
hopesdead@startrek.websiteOPto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Visited Vasquez RocksEnglish8·12 days agoYep. Many people for example mistakenly think Los Angeles is near Disneyland.

hopesdead@startrek.websiteOPto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Visited Vasquez RocksEnglish6·11 days ago🤭 Thanks. Unfortunately, unless I planned a better day to Agua Dulce (the city which Vasquez Rocks is located), I wouldn’t dare make the drive again. On a Saturday, there was so much traffic for the 64 mile drive.
hopesdead@startrek.websiteOPto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Visited Vasquez RocksEnglish6·12 days agoI mean, Raffi lived here. Memory Alpha says the appearances in PIC are Vasquez Rocks, not a differently named location.
hopesdead@startrek.websiteOPto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Star Trek: Red Alert at Universal: Fan Fest NightsEnglish1·12 days agoI just realized this might be the same plaque that was from the set.
hopesdead@startrek.websiteOPto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Visited Vasquez RocksEnglish7·12 days agoMany other episodes and not just TOS, filmed there.
hopesdead@startrek.websiteOPto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Visited Vasquez RocksEnglish11·12 days agoNot this. This is pretty far removed from urban. 40 miles doesn’t seem like much unless you drove 2 hours to get there.
40 miles from Universal Studios that is.
hopesdead@startrek.websiteOPto Star Trek Social Club@startrek.website•Star Trek: Red Alert at Universal: Fan Fest NightsEnglish1·12 days agoI believe the plaque, as well as other parts of the set built for The Klingon Encounter (which was original to Star Trek: The Experience) had names of people who worked on it hidden throughout.
That is why I asked.
Daystrom Institute is UFP, not Starfleet affiliated. Hence why those who work at Daystrom aren’t Starfleet.
