Red and Rover by Brian Basset for September 13, 2023

Kirk never actually said, “Beam me up, Scotty.”

Somewhere I have the book “The Making of Star Trek”. Fascinating……

There’s a world of difference between being smart and being obedient.

Bill Gates dropped out of Harvard so Rover must be one the smartest dogs ever! Plus he saved Red’s life in the beginning!!!

It’s all relative, Rover!

Rover, the honor student!

Didn’t Azimov write that story theme, and have them go into a human body?

From the looks of people today, I think we’ll need to super size the Enterprise.

I remember a science fiction novel where the Japanese space program was based on miniaturizing everything and everyone.

the movie Downsizing is about how many resources could be saved if people were 5 inches tall.

Of course, Rover is smart ……….. he telepathically speaks to you, Red ……. doesn’t he ……. :)

It’s like the TARDIS, larger on the inside than on the outside.

IIRC, there were 430 in the crew of the TOS Enterprise. NX-01 Enterprise – 85 crewmembers (83 human, 1 Denobulan, 1 Vulcan)USS Enterprise NCC-1701 – Approximately 430USS Enterprise NCC-1701-A – Unknown, likely identical to the previous shipUSS Enterprise NCC-1701-B – Unknown. Excelsior-class supported 750 full-time crew plus 150 visiting personnel.USS Enterprise NCC-1701-C – Approximately 700USS Enterprise NCC-1701-D – 1014 (this also includes children and possibly civilian spouses)USS Enterprise NCC-1701-E – 800?

I’ve seen that Mercury capsule, at the Smithsonian. Absolutely claustrophobia-inducing even from the outside!

I’ve seen the Enterprise. Rover is absolutely right. It’s tiny.

The Mercury capsule would’ve fit nicely on the bridge of the Enterprise.
