Thought I'd try reading a Star Trek novel so I went for The Antares Maelstrom by Greg Cox.
It had good characterizations of the familiar star-ship crew but felt slow and poorly paced. I guess coz it's so much longer than a 50 minute TV show.
The way the Federation has supposedly done away with money and need makes a gold-rush story difficult to fathom. How can you have a gold-rush ("pangeum" rather than actual gold) of people heading to a mining-planet if nobody uses money or has any personal wealth?
By making the planet only a potential Federation member, it turns out.
Then everyone can act like a Ferengi.
Anyway, it was okay, but didn't really feel much like watching the old TV shows did.

30 years ago tonight #StarTrek: The Next Generation ended: #Starlink satellites were launched: #anniversary mean something? I don't know ...

Since it's just been 30 years since the end of ST:TNG, I watched Star Trek: Insurrection. Who is your favourite TNG character other than The Captain? (Only allowed 4)

Model suggests subluminal warp drives may be possible
A team of physicists from the University of Alabama in Huntsville and the Advanced Propulsion Laboratory at Applied Physics, in New York, has developed a model that shows it might be possible to create a subluminal warp drive.

Since one of the #StarTrek themed holidays was just last Sunday, it seems only appropriate to take a closer look at it for today's #TrekTriviaTuesday question.

Unpopular Opinion: The Borg Queen ruined what made the Borg a great nemesis.
In "First Contact", they needed to put a face to the enemy to market the movie. Thus, the queen was born. But now instead of being a scary unique adversary, the Borg are just another evil genius with minions.

#StarTrek so: "Wir entwickeln mächtige Technologien und Computer, um die Gesellschaft voranzubringen, Wissenschaft zu betreiben und unsere Lebensräume zu schützen. Und wir sorgen dafür, dass niemand mehr schuften muss bis zum Umfallen, alle jederzeit ein Dach über dem Kopf und genug zu essen haben und Bildung ein Allgemeingut ist.
Unser #Kapitalismus so: "Wir entwickeln mächtige Technologien und Computer, um damit Produkte zu erfinden, die niemand braucht und die noch den letzten Rest der verfügbaren Ressourcen unseres Planeten zu verschwenden, nur um Nutzer*innen mit kuratierten Halb- und Unwahrheiten zu versorgen und irgendwelche Tech-Faschisten noch überreicher und damit mächtiger zu machen, als sie ohnehin schon sind."
Das Leben als naiver Teenager mit Vorfreude auf die Zukunft, in der alles besser werden wird dank Technologie, war mir lieber...

TEMPORAL ANOMALY! Spock appears in the background of a recently discovered painting by Caravaggio. What will Federation bosses say when they find out?

Finishing my Star Trek DVD film collection with ST: Nemesis. At school, I loved it. Sadly, it seems to have aged... Poorly. But I still love it. Tom Hardy's performance is excellent.

In #StarTrek the answer to the age old question 'what happens after death?' is sometimes a simple 'a new life in a different body'. Reason enough to look at this closer for today's #TrekTriviaTuesday question.
