Earth is in outer space.
No, it is not
Just for the fun, what did you think the word outer meant in this context?
Outer space, or simply space, is the expanse that exists beyond Earth’s atmosphere and between celestial bodies.
I’ve had it with this type of planet-centrism /s
Yes, Earth is in there. It’s surrounded by outer space.
dammit ! cornered by the void
No, no, it’s been towed beyond outer space. It’s not in outer space.
Between celestial bodies.
If you drop out earth from space with that logic, that means no planet is in space.
If you drop a bunch of pebbles into a bucket of water, the water is in between the rocks, but the rocks are still in water.
outer. outer. outer. OUTER space.
first: we are not dropping the earth from anywhere, dropping it would mean it previously belonged there.
second: while space is everywhere. OUTER space is, by definition, what is OUT there, behind our borders. and what is inside these borders can’t be behind them. so earth is not the outer space, because definition of outer space is “anything but earth”. and to confuse you even more, it is relative based on the speaker. for klingon, earth will be outer space. for earthling, not so much…
If you drop a bunch of pebbles into a bucket of water, the water is in between the rocks, but the rocks are still in water.
yes, but the pebbles are not outside of the bucket, in spite of the fact there is some “outside of the bucket” in all directions from them, they, themselves, are inside. the earth is not in outer space for the same reason these pebbles are not outside of the bucket. how cool is that?
please don’t give any more lectures on logic.
Even in the distant future, we can’t escape the cheap bastards who always have to cut corners to save a few slips of gold-pressed latinum. 🙄
Found just off screen:
So far, only Kirk, Uhura, and Scotty have been to space
🥲
“Many”
But not all. The Enterprise title sequence features actual NASA footage from orbit, the Moon and Mars.
I read this as meaning “filmed for the series” and not “used stock footage” but then I remembered it’s a dumb meme joke thing
There’s a reason they moved Starfleet headquarters to Toronto.
Why did they always do this dorky posture when teleporting somewhere? Completely unready for anything. Hands far away from weapons and communicators, nobody checking the rear or flanks. Worst possible stance and weight balance, everyone would be toppled by a strong gust of wind.
Because the actors would need to film the scene in the transporter room on Tuesday and the scene on the surface on Thursday, for shots that would be played instantly back to back on the show, so they had to strike a pose they could accurately repeat.
Plus the design of the transporter pad looks like it has a strict cylindrical volume, so it looked like they were trying to fit inside that so as not to leave behind a forearm, but they transport objects of all kinds of sizes so IDK.
had to strike a pose they could accurately repeat
Well damn at least Frakes and Dorn should’ve learned to repeat a pose that looked like they’re being dropped into an unfamiliar environment, and not like they’re at a pharmacy checkout. Even Troi’s stance is a bit better in that shot.
O shit
Woah… 🤯
