Star Trek Phoenix Flight (Star Trek First Contact & Steppenwolf - Magic Carpet Ride)

When I bought my first truck back in November of 2020, I remember driving off the lot and this was the first song I blasted on the speakers. Good times.

[@mikejung810]

I can't believe more people haven't checked this out. Most righteous moment of the best TNG film when he turns this song on.

[@MsLogjam]

I shared it on my FB page during the election. Because the present was so dreary, I wanted to post my favorite film depiction of the future as a sign of hope and good faith.

I agree 100% and I've never even seen this Star Trek movie! I like the part at 00:19 , where Deanna gets blasted by Rock and Roll! Take that, all you future mind-reading girlfriends! I really think he should have said "Let's rock and roll baby!!!" because that would have been more in line to what someone around the Steppenwolf time frame generation would have said. My sincerest thanks to whoever posted this and the makers of that movie because now I've got to watch it. I gave up on this Star Trek movies. But maybe there's A New Hope. : )

[@WardenWolf]

I still think they did Cochrane dirty. His portrayal in the pocket novel Federation was much better, and tied in well with Encounter at Farpoint, where Q mentioned they used to control soldiers with drugs (they show that time period in the book). It portrayed him as a dedicated scientist and good man who nonetheless had a tragic life.

[@felixalvarez3946]

Such a classic scene! I like others felt pure goosebumps when I saw it. Really adds so much depth to the whole Star Trek franchise. I truly hope like others have said, that they recall this scene and blast the hell out of this song as they achieve “warp drive”.

Thank you for breakfast with John Kay! That was worth waking up for! Steppenwolf (and Procol Harum and Iron Butterfly) are the bands of my personal soundtrack.

Ok, so how did they land? Did they leave the warp drive in orbit and land in a capsule? Great music.

I'm sure that NASA has played Magic Carpet Ride at least once in all the mission wakeup calls over the years. Astronauts and their families are usually involved in those song selections.

[@arthurlink7992]

It's so much better without Riker being the buzzkill.

[@johnmcternan4157]

Someone edited this clip (which now seems to have disappeared from KZbin)) where Riker tells him that's enough only for Cochrane to press the audio device again and the volume of Magic Carpet Ride keeps getting pumped to spite him and then Riker and Geordie smile at each other as if "Lol this guy!"

[@Kiahsobyk]

After playing KSP for a while now, I'm wondering how the Phoenix ever landed. Lots of chutes, maybe?

[@mypersonalyoutub1000]

What about the Falcon 9 From Space X, theirs been a number of successful landings upwards its a matter of time before its proven tech.

[@saraheaster166]

The main concern being that they appear to have launched straight up, which would cause them to burn up on re-entry (If you play KSP, install the Alcubierre Drive from Roverdude and try launching straight up to 900km.). However, they could have done a series of short warp jumps to change their orbit.

[@WhirligigGirl]

I'm fairly certain they ditched the warp drive in either deep space or orbit, and the cockpit landed as a capsule.

[@MrBubbleJet]

GregroxMun GregroxMun No that option is not because Picard announced a little bit earlier that he has seen the original Phoenix in the smithsonian musuem in the 24th century. That means the Phoenix had to land in one part someway.

Funny but I never thought of them as astronauts till this scene but that's really what they are.

[@MsLogjam]

NASA is to Starfleet what the pioneers were to the West Coast transplants of the present. And a note to the New Yorkers who move to California: please don't bring your toaster, DVD player, etc. You can get new ones out here very easily and they won't have built-in cockroach nests.

[@davecrupel2817]

mlee2001 You forget what the word "astro-naut" really is. the suffix "naut" is a greek word. for all intents and purposes, naut is used to define an explorer. a pioneer. a frontiersman. and still very much means that today. an "aqua-naut" is an explorer of the seas, oceans, and other bodiesof water. a "Geo-naut" could be used for someone exploring the depths of a planet. A "helio-naut"might one day be used for someone who dives into a star (assuming we ever develop technology for that) to study how it works on the inside. An explorer of stars (directly) And, of course, the more commonly used "astro-naut" meaning one who explores Outer Space. I believe the most famous ancient example comes from "Jason and the Argonauts". The Argonauts were explorers berthed out of the ancient city of Argos. They explored the Meditteranean. Im sure other cities had such explorers too. The "Athenauts" perhaps. but yeah. by definition, Starfleet is an organization of Astronauts. perfectly legitimate word for them.

This is by far the best version of this rocket ship launch scene. And for me it is the best version of any scene in Any of the Star Trek movies, and that's saying something. This is just my opinion but I think you should put more rock songs to lots of the Star Trek TV show and movie special scenes. Starting with the paradise syndrome TV show episode, one of my favorites. Even if you don't ever get around to doing that suggestion I thank you for this great video, that I watch a lot. Thank you!
