UPN brings you a brand new space series, with a new crew, and a new ship...or uh shuttle actually...

 Startrek-New Explorers!!!!

 Based in the early 21st century, a crew of 5 makes 3 yearly missions in orbit around the planet earth!!! In the shuttle Enterprise!!! Taking on impossible odds to deliver shuttle parts, perform really boring animal cell research, and fixing satellites...

 Who knows what adventures await this crew when they orbit the planet earth...
 
Here is a preview of the new show...

 "Commander Taggart this is shuttle command do you copy?

I don't think so...

That was pretty lame... even for something related to star trek.

[Red5]

Yes that was funny, i think the whole idea of the current space program being boring is a funny idea that pokes fun of startrek....  The farther you go back the more boring it is....I call this new idea the law of advancing technology advancing interest... or the reverse which is applied here... sorry i thought it was funny, maybe saturday night live or somebody will use it...

I'd hardly call thousands of secret Russian and US orbital nuclear weapons platforms boring.

[Martinus]

Heheh that is somewhat funny. You gotta like Leslie Neilsen humor though

Wasn't 'Enterprise' the name of the carbon-fibre scale model shuttle they used (strapped onto the back of jumbo jet) to test the aerodynamics?

Man...Humans will never explore the galaxy without hyperdrives or jump drives or warp drives. Which ever you want to call them.

What are the guys at NASA doing?!

The Enterprise is the name of a Space Shuttle and an American Aircraft Carrier.

Bah! Within the next 50 years ageing will have been annihilated and people will be able to take 200 years to get to AC without it being much of an incovenience.

...and also the type of program Microsoft developed called Visual Studio Enterprise Edition.

Wow...now we can travel faster than the speed of light.

Imagine this scenerio if you will.

Engineering Officer: Captain! The hamsters down here are getting tired. I don't know how much longer we can keep this up at Warp 4.5!!

Captain: Well, replace the tired ones with freashly rested ones then!!!

Engineering Officer: Can't Captain! We jettisoned all the hamsters already. They all died due to exhuastion! We down to our last few hamsters!

Captain: #$%@*&%!
