Though it has become irrevocably associated with the series and movies, the exact phrase was never actually spoken in any Star Trek television episode or film.

I think some of them were volunteered by family and friends

All true, neither is there any trees, oceans, beer, pizza or hookers. The latency for online gaming would be appalling. It's a slightly one-sided angle you're arguing here!

Good point. Please replace with 'narrow perspective'.

Perspective is about changing width.
You're really on a losing streak, today.

It seems so distant and yet so close. 17 light hours away, that's a long way away but at the same time rather pitiful on universal scale.
I've got a DVD by Stephen Hawking, and I will admit to only half paying attention watching it but if I recall correctly he reckons you can get to the other side of the universe in 80 years, if you're going really bloody fast, nearly light fast. But it'd be a whole lot longer on earth.

Amazing achievement, I wonder if years from now space travelers will pass it and the captain will say; If you look out the right post hole you will see Voyager I...

It doesn't seem that far - it would only take a jet 2395 years[^] to travel the same distance.
And it will only take Voyager 40,000 years to reach the nearest star.
To quote a character from a book I was reading the other day, "Space is too f***ing big!"

I have the opposite problem, VS2010 at work. Keeps vanishing. No error, no nothing, it just goes along with any uncommitted changes.
I'm learning that I actually do quite a bit between each compile as when it happens it takes about 20 minutes to get back to where I was.

Rob Philpott.
