      Naw, it’s a shot in the arm when 2009Trek is so powered by the navigational force known as Destiny™ that a supernova threatens to blow up the entire galaxy/universe at a speed many times the speed of light (also known as speed of plot) unless Red Matter™® can make a black hole to sort of kind of stop it. Also, moons with enough gravity to walk on and atmosphere to breathe are so tiny that it’s super easy, barely an inconvenience, to get banished to one after a slapfight and, wherever you land, still be within sprinting distance of Leonard Nimoy’s shelter. morshupls

      No joke! I was a lifelong classic sci-fi literature fan, the stuff that Clarke and his contemporaries were writing. But it wasn’t until I played KSP that I really understood the basics of spaceflight.
