Yeah its funny how they brought it back down to reality, as modern society advanced. The first thought that pops into my "green mind" when I think of Star Trek now, is how eventually they learned "that warp drive was polluting sub-space" and to throttle back from warp 7. :-)

Can you IMAGINE the uproar if it became known that migraines are caused by UFO's running their engines improperly. :-)
