The word is given: Warp speed

James Doohan's ashes will be boldly going today. I've heard a lot of people grumble that he wasn't a real astronaut or anything. But I'd also argue that he inspired about as many real ones as Alan Shepard, etc. And he helped save the world at Normandy. So Godspeed, Jimmy.

Why were they grumbling? This was a private enterprise (no pun intended) flight.

For some reason "space" tends to evoke the "that money could have been spent on..." The people in question were a LITTLE detered when I pointed out that this didn't cost much more than an ordinary funeral. But grudgingly.

Is 1 Pelosi the moonbat equivalent of the Mole?
