I thought that Mr. Spock’s home planet was Mars? Because Vulcan do look like Planet Mars! If not Planet Vulcan should look more like Earth! After all, person who made up fictional planet Vulcan, because it was the favorite planet of science fiction writers!

There are four quadrants in the galaxy if you are talking in real terms. Alpha, Beta, Gamma, Delta. I am not completely sure as to what other types of quadrants in the galaxy there are. Earth is located in the Alpha quadrant, close to the Beta quadrant. Maybe since the planet has such a close proximity to the Beta quadrant, that is why it would take very little time for a ship to cross at warp and be detected by starfleet. When Spock says the Klingon bid of prey will be entering the quadrant within 1.9 hours, it might be coming for. The Beta quadrant, which is close to all these empires (and Romulus is inside the Beta quadrant.) I also agree that there might be other types of quadrants that are similar to sectors, though I find the use of the same word for two different things very confusing.

And then, life could have developed on a planet in orbit around 40 Eri A, and evolved to an intelligent level, but will refuse to ever contact (or even acknowledge) us because … it “evolved to an intelligent level”. Why do Trekkies keep wasting time looking for intelligent, logical, pacifistic civilizations way out on distant planets? We have them right here, on Earth … and they are want absolutely “NOTHING” to do with us! They are called, the Amish. ;-)

Life more complex than one-celled organisms is only 500 million years old on earth. Current theory holds that It took 4 billion years for simple molecules to develop the level of multicellular organisms. Evolution on Vulcan would have presumably followed a similar sequence. Also, it is unlikely that life could have developed on Vulcan without oceans. The scenario then must have been something like this. Anciently Vulcan had oceans. Life developed with progenitor seed assistance toward modern Vulcans. While this evolution was progressing, geologic changes caused Vulcan to become hotter and drier and lose its oceans. This could have included a change in Vulcan’s orbit, cooling of the core leading to a weakening the protective magnetic field, allowing the atmosphere to begin eroding under the stellar wind. It should also be noted that in Star Trek the progenitors went extinct about 4 billion years ago. Epsilon Eridani is not a likely location for Vulcan since it is so young.

Haha, nice! Hopefully we’ve happened upon something more like Vulcan and less like… Reman, mayhaps. xD

That’s cool, though. New planet = Always cool.

Remember “First Contact”? Maybe in about… 40; 50 years we really WILL have a first contact. Now wouldn’t that be somethin’? 8D

Cool – I wonder how long before a Starbuck pops up.
