The Final Frontier

Those that dismiss Star Trek as boring or child's play need to check out the new updated version based on the old story coming to a theatre near you in 2009.
On the subject of science, it is important to note that some people cannot grasp the dynamics of the physical world (for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction) and under the best circumstances cannot follow science fiction. They understand space travel and know we went to the moon, but have no idea the International Space Station is currently inhabited by a team of scientists in orbit around the earth. They are unable to define the word "stereo" as it refers to sound reproduction in spite of the fact that two-channel audio is in every household and car and has been with us for over fifty years! Living like a confused insect with a truncated brain stem these people are simply along for the ride, spending all of their lives acting and reacting to external stimuli until they die. They do not listen, absorb, and process information for self improvement or try to help their fellow earthlings. People that wallow in their own juices and refuse to pay attention eventually become architects of their own demise. In the case of those that will not help themselves, assistance is futile.
