My favourite thing about this scene is that we see the rebirth of Zefram Cochrane. The entire first part of the movie he was an drunken ass only in it for the money but the second he lays eyes on a small earth his outlook and path changes. He finally starts to realize everything he's been told about humanities potential is true. Beautiful really.

exactly what was wrong with insurrection? It really wasnt that bad was it? Id personally watch it over Nemesis, the new Star Trek Beyond, and lets not even get started on how crappy the new Discovery show is. I think we can all agree that Star Trek, no matter what generation or cast, has always been about giving us amazing first class theater and story..... while simultaneously taking a dump on us at the same time

Honestly that is one example of something that would justify Section 31 involvement. I mean between Cochrane's statement at Princeton, Archer's report on his encounter with the Borg and all the odd little details around Cochrane's flight (Why did his copilots immediately vanish into history, along with most of the support personnel? Who was behind the attack on the facility just days before launch? Why did a group of strangers show up to help immediately after the attack and then vanish just as quickly?) there's plenty to point to something being off about the official account of his first flight.

Love this movie. Probably my favorite Trek movie. A few nitpicks about this scene though, not that I care, but just because that's what we do: 1) No compression suits, let alone proper spacesuits. 2) As a corollary, inertial dampers? Shouldn't that type of acceleration turned them into paste? 3) I'm thinking take off would have seriously damaged that camp. I know it's not a Saturn, but still, it's an ICBM. Titans are still monsterously powerful. 4) Funny how Cochrane's need for his mission music mirrored Captain Hiller's need for mission cigars in Independence Day. They came out the same year too.
@MeepChangeling8 жыл бұрын
+James Martin You wouldn't need a compression suit if you had inirshial dampeners, and according to the Fleet Manual, whcih came out before the movie, the Pheonix had one in the cockpit. Aditionaly the camp would be fine as it's stated that they were launching from an old ICBM silo, there are underground vents which direct exaust away from the launch tube becuase the misscile controll and launch facility is arround them and theay re mean tto serve as emergancy military bases as well. The ground 20 meters away from the rube is perfectly safe, but closer than that and you will be burned a bit.

@@MeepChangeling Not really. The missile command and control facilities are several miles from the actual silos, and the missile launch control is buried underground and insulated by several yards of concrete. In addition, if that's a Titan II like they seem to imply it is, the exhaust is toxic and corrosive. What goes up must come down, and the area around a Titan II silo after launch would've been contaminated with nitric acid and other nasty Aerozine 50/nitrogen tetroxide combustion products as the exhaust plume settled. Not to mention the noise would've killed everyone aboveground that was closer than about a mile.

The movie depicts Earth after a devastating war, and most technology is gone. Yet this Cochrane guy single-handedly builds a warp drive out of some spare ICBMs? Where did he get the anti-matter? The dilithium?
@antourte18 жыл бұрын
+delavalmilker I don't want to check the details just now but I think the antimatter is just fuel and dilithium is used to regulate the antimatter reaction. Another power source would do; given that they're using a nuclear missile I bet I know where the fuel came from. However it probably wouldn't last for more than few short warp flights which is why modern starships use antimatter.
@antourte18 жыл бұрын
+delavalmilker ...to complete my thought, the point is the actual warp field does not require antimatter, just a lot of power.
@godfist7878 жыл бұрын
He didn't use anti-matter or dillithium. He used power from the ICBM's warhead to make a (very) crude warp engine. Also the movie takes place not too long after world war 3 so technology isn't exactly rare just difficult to maintain. Not to mention that you shouldn't doubt human ingenuity. In real life Marvin Heemeyer made a battle tank with composite armor and life support systems IN HIS GARAGE with no engineering experience compared to Cochrane who's a PHd(albeit fictional). It's was also this ability to "Maguyver" a warp engine out of scrap parts that impressed the vulcans enough to help humanity usher in a new era...

Pretty sure that was lensing and Cherenkov radiation. …Or just VFX to make the warp drive more apparent. Since you can still see Earth with the naked eye from where they ended up, I don't think they were even traveling at warp factor 1.0, let alone fast enough to pass entire star systems.

I think they were moving at exactly warp 1 - that was the point of the exercise. You're right that these days the powers that be rationalise that the streaks are not stars - throughout Trek history, even at high warp, there have always been too many of them for them to be stars.

Even at exponential superluminal speeds (such as, say, Warp 7), the stars would appear fixed, more or less. At Warp 7, it would take 2.39 days to reach the Alpha Centauri system from Earth (based on ST:TNG Warp Factors). At Warp 1, the speed of Cochrane's ship, it would take 4.35 years (it's 4.35 lightyears away). The shorter version is that the blurred stars are artistic license rather than accurate science.

I'd argue with you but why bother. This is scifi. In reality. As you approach light-speed. The stars in front of you begin to turn more and more blue until they disappear into ultraviolet. The stars behind you turn increasingly more and more red until they disappear into infrared. Everything in between takes on the gradients of the electromagnetic spectrum, The rainbow. As you get faster. the darkness in front and in back expand. until all you can see is a ring shaped "star-bow" that appears to precede your spaceship. It would be like rising towards a forever receding portal that you can never catch. Nobody will ever see that in this century. Moreover, it would be many centuries after THAT before anybody sent back any such images. So. Star Trek it is...

+bobert4him The white specks were just supposed to show that the Enterprise was going really, really fast, because usually stars are static dots on a black background during space scenes. The specks have since then been retconned to be charged particles and not stars. The Phoenix broke Warp 1, which means it was moving at around 299,800 km/s. At those speeds, it would pass the Moon in just over a second, but it would still take around 12 minutes to reach Mars, and it sure as hell wouldn't make distant stars swoosh by.
