Is it normal, that i want to explore the universe?

I wish I could build a spaceship and go explore the universe. I want to travel to different galaxies and meet new civilizations. Most importantly, I want to discover the secrets of the universe and make beneficial discoveries. I know that discoveries are being made, but a part of me feels like not enough is being discovered and that most of what is being discovered is kept hidden from the general population... Is it normal?

    Live long and prosper!

    (PS... Normal, you should try watching Star Trek some time...)

      As much as I like TNG, there was always one episode which was great, but the acting ruined it for me lol, and that was when Deanna Troi was like floating somewhere and she was like "Where are you? I have to find you, I have to tell you" in slow motion :)

        Deanna, in my opinion, is practically useless. It seems as if her empathic powers only work best when the knife is to Picard's throat and she finally says "his intentions are hostile!".

        I know a guy that met Sirtis at comic-con. Said she was a HUGE bitch. I prefer Lwuxanna. Lwuxanna Troi is fucking sexy. Total MILF.

        With the exception of Patrick Stewart and Colm Meaney (and possibly Jonathan Frakes and Michael Dorn), none of them can act at all. Marina Sirtis is okay when she doesn't have to do anything involving emotions. As soon as she has to "act", it's embarrassingly bad. I'm with NeuroNeptunian. I love her mum! :D

      They've started showing TNG here again (from the start) and every time I watch it now, I think of you.

      Last night's was the one where Tasha gets abducted and has to fight to the death for the honour of a man's hand, but really to win important vaccines. The man himself is tricky because in his culture, if Tasha wins, he gets to keep all his current wife's wealth so he's sneakily engineered a situation in which he thinks he can't lose.

      Except of course, he does.

        Because Tasha has her opponent immediately revived afterwards which means that that woman's commitment to her would-be mate was technically voided so she was able to choose a husband that she wanted and take the other douche as a second husband, lolz.

          That's the one. You don't think it was actually a thinly-veiled allegory of Western dealings with the Middle East in the 1980's, do you? *raises a brow*

            You know, I usually see the hidden message in most of the episodes that had one, but I honestly didn't think anything of that episode. It's possible because a lot of references to the Prime Directive are made throughout the series ( and... well you know the Prime Directive and I'm sure you have made the connections that they try to have us make in the show between the Prime Directive's purpose and modern times) but I really didn't see it =/

              I may have been overcomplicating it and I was looking at it from all kinds of angles. The "hostage-taking" is something we don't tend to do in the west but did/do suffer.

              The vaccine I saw as a metaphor for oil, but the playing off of two women with land/power with no loss to oneself really reminded me of the 1980's Western policy of playing off Iran and Iraq, arming them both and letting them slug it out, knowing that - either way - you can't lose.

              Like I said, probably reading too much into it. Although I know if I was writing sci-fi and was looking for a good story, the first place I'd look is real life.

    Drop some acid and watch Star Trek reruns.

    I have wanted to go to another inhabited planet and visit there, and just talk to the locals. Find out their culture, technology, knowledge, and see if they live at all like we do. I just hope they're not like us enough that I might end up on a government operating table or something like that.

    I think that would be a wonderful idea, especially if we could invent a machine that could assemble food from its basic elements (like on Red Dwarf), and a machine that could slow the aging process so that the travelers hardly age when they get home from their trip (if its a long one, that is.)

    (well, according to the theory of relativity, the last one would happen anyways with light-speed travel, so I guess the last is moot, unless its slower than light speed)

    It would be fantastic wouldn't it? :)
