    Technically, you’re among the stars before you even start.

    If you wait long enough, the moon will come to you.

      If you wait long enough, the moon will come to you.

      it won’t. the distance between earth and moon is increasing by about 4 cm per year.

        Ah, I see the problem, you’re not waiting long enough.

        I have been greatly inspired to aspire to apathy.

    Logically you are among the Stars as long as you stay inside the milky way.

      Even extragalactic voyages are among the stars. The distances just increase.

      Even in places like the Boötes Void, you’re still among stars. They’re just very far away.

        Even in places like past visible space, you’re still “among” stars. They’re just very far away.

      Even then you are likely surrounded by hard vacuum for light years in every direction. “Among the stars” is pretty much any goddamn place.

    If you miss the moon, hopefully you launched on a free return trajectory so you won’t be lost in a highly eccentric orbit without enough delta V to bring you back home. Dying of dehydration out beyond the moon isn’t a way I’d want to go.

    The Warp 10 barrier is like the Prime Directive. Frequently broken.

      OK, other than that one time, with the reptile sex, when??

      OK, other than that other time, when??

    T’lyn doesn’t like aiming for the moon because Vulcan has no moon.

    I would expect “among the stars” to be taken as not within the visible atmosphere of a planet. Basically “visibly surrounded by the stars”.

    Shoot for the stars and there’s a statistic likelihood that given sufficient time you will collide with one.

/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!

Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.

~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally “othering” of a group will result in removal/ban.

~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That’s okay! Just don’t let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.

~ 3. Use spoiler tags. Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it’s free game.

~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.

~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.

~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.

~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not ‘inspire jamaharon’

~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community’s expectations.

Fun will now commence.
