And remember the myopia of expertise: True polymaths are rare, and generally, the more expert in one field the less so in others, even if they seem related. I'd trust Neil Degrasse Tyson about anything in astrophysics, but substantially less in say, Philosophy of Science.

The other day one of my cats begged to go outside, vomited on the grass, and then came right back in.

I hope the actors playing the hybrids are having as much fun with the part as I am with watching them. Really nailed "kid brain in adult body".

Not entirely convinced it would be responsible to unleash humanity on the greater universe.
Even so, if our best estimates for the sun's life are off by a couple of magnitudes, we still have several million years and more pressing issues now.

With how many different species and space faring traditions are in the Federation? The number of variants so far is positively restrained. Especially in the post-Klingon Cold War era.
Go for broke. You're only kinda sorta a military anyway.

I've heard it said the first tragedy of humanity is that we have a desire to live forever and a certainty we will not.
It sounds pretentious to say this about games but there's some resonance that makes you dump allowance money trying to wipe the smile off that smug ape.

Radioactive death by a weapon that looks straight out of the Acme catalog. Wiley Coyote fucks with this, and so do I.

I love my submarines in space, and I Iove a good juxtaposition of design language and this looks like Star Trek/Star Wars done right. The little pods on the planes of the sail tower makes me think of a Star Destroyer.
