Found this in another base and remembered someone in one of our many Star

Echo's was wondering about it so here ya go.
Star Trek, the Experience is opened to the public at the Las Vegas Hilton
in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Just an announcement to all the "trekkies" around the world.  Just a
thought.
Hope that was helpful.

 I wouldn't call him timid in the least.  More like blase and
 sardonic.  He's been there, done that, lost everything, and now
 he is mostly amused with life.  Keeps getting thrown into the

Write your reply.

assistant: Indeed? Hmmm.. I would've thought they'd use a Intrepid Class ship
 for that movie (like the Voyager) BUT they can't have such a small
 ship for the Flagship of the fleet, now can they? I meant small
 in the respect that a Soverign Class StarShip is pretty big
 when put up against the Defiant or most other ships in the fleet.
 But that is quite a few decks! Roomy enough for any Borg to take up
 residence in comfortably. One thing they learned from the Galaxy Class
 design was that a saucer section couldn't clear its mooring clamps
 quick enough to escape a warp core breach (Generations). One thing that
 eludes me though, why didn't they eject the core when they knew it was
 going to breach? That has been a question in the back of my mind for
 almost 3 years. I never heard a reason for them not ejecting the core.
 And I have watched the movie several times. But then again, this is
 STAR TREK. No ship has ever lasted that long in the fleet. 7 years?
 That is unheard of where I am from!
