As a lifelong Trekkie all I have to say about that new trailer is this:

I need new pants.

Plus, the music was epic win. Sounded like the dark knight almost.

And when Kirk sat in the captain's chair I got freaking goosebumps.

Yeah this film looks the boss!

The parts where they show the building of the Enterprise on the ground bothers me. It should be in space.

I'm not used to seeing it being built on the ground either. I suppose that means the new Enterprise is a bit sturdier than before.

The fact that it was too expensive to have the original Enterprise landing on a planet each week gave us the wonderful transporter, and little slab sided shuttlecraft. :p .

I just saw the new trailer. If I am not mistaken, that was Spock telling Nero "James Kirk was a great man." Oh my. I got goose bumps. This movie is going to rock. Seems Spock will have a face to face confrontation with Nero. Wow.

Why, Utopia Planitia had a Surface Facility quite a few ships were built on the surface including the Enterprise-D, Defiant and Voyager.

It was Nero who said that.

Look at the trailer again and listen closely to the voice speaking. It was Spock telling Nero that Kirk was a great man then Nero tells Spock: "That was in another life."

This movie is going to be very interesting. Maybe Spock dies on this one. Who knows. I can't wait till May.

I have and did. The voice sounds like Nero and that's what I'm banking on until you can prove otherwise ;)

Why should it? The main bulk could be built on Earth then towed to space. Remember, this needn't be true to the original stories...

Because it would collapse under its own weight.

Where has it ever been said that ships were built on the surface? Mars also has a much lighter gravity, but not enough for it to matter, I guess. The Yards had facilities in both space and on the surface.

Structural Integrity Fields?

Twice in TNG and once in Voyager.

In an alternate timeline visited by Worf in 2370, the Cardassians were using the Argus Array to spy on several of Starfleet's most important ship yards and design complexes, including the Utopia Planitia surface facilities, along with Starbase 47, Deep Space 5 and the Iadara colony. (TNG: "Parallels")

Thats what that picture is from i pasted.

I didn't say there were no surface facilities, I asked when they SPECIFIED that the entire ships were built on the surface. There are orbital facilites also. Every book has always made it very clear that ships are built in space, and the SIF would be useless until the ship was completed anyway.

edit: according to my TNG Technical manual, the assembly started at the Utopia Planitia assembly site, 16,625 kilometres above the surface of Mars with the joining of the Deck 10 computer core elliptical compression bulkhead, and the starboard main longitudinal compression bulkhead.

    • DWARF mini review: the world's smallest smart telescope for night and day sky captures

      Are they marketed as an entry into astronomy or astrophotography? I do astrophotography. With big rigs, lots of computers, cables and headaches. I love it. And by learning this ridiculously complex hobby, I’ve learned about the objects I’m shooting. Astronomy followed from photography.
    • Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows

      Microsoft confirms Recycle Bin bug across all versions of Windows by Usama Jawad A couple of days ago, we reported that the latest Patch Tuesday update has seemingly resulted in a lot of issues for many users, including OneDrive and Dropbox access problems, BitLocker recovery lockouts, and BSODs. Although Microsoft is yet to acknowledge these bugs, it has confirmed another, relatively smaller issue across all supported versions of Windows. In an update on its Windows Release Health Dashboard, Microsoft has confirmed that after installing June's Patch Tuesday update (KB5094126), you'll experience unexpected behavior when leveraging Recycle Bin. Basically, when you attempt to delete an item from the Recycle Bin, the confirm dialog will show you the internal file name of that content rather than the actual name. For example, the file may be named abc.png, but the confirm dialog will ask if you're sure that you want to permanently delete $Rxxxxx.png from the Recycle Bin. This is pretty much it for the scope of the bug itself; it just displays the wrong name in the confirm dialog. The correct name will be shown in the list view of the Recycle Bin and if you restore the file, it will return with the correct name as well. This issue affects pretty much all supported versions of Windows client and server, including: Client: Windows 11, version 26H1; Windows 11, version 25H2; Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSB 2016 Server: Windows Server 2025; Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012 As things currently stand, Microsoft is working on a concrete solution that will be released in a "future" Windows update. It remains to be seen if the firm will wait till the next Patch Tuesday or roll out an out-of-band (OOB) fix. The good news is that commercial customers can deploy a workaround right now, but they will have to reach out to Microsoft Support for Business for additional details.

      A study by physicist Henry Tye of Cornell University suggests that the universe may not expand forever. Instead, it could eventually stop expanding, begin contracting and end in a "Big Crunch" roughly 20 billion years from now. Maybe not as we now know that time can flow backwards.

      Of course. Simply reverse the polarity.
