Problem with Star Trek fans is their in ability to think logically.

The only contact you're ever going to make with an alien will be Mexican and you're never going to fly in outer space or live on another planet. But there's good odds that some patriotic creep is using a satellite listen in on your phone conversations and very soon there's going to be a damn heavily armed police drone pulling you over on the highway asking to see your license. And all of this enslaving technological shit is being made possible by organizations like NASA.

OK??? Or do you need William Shatner to explain this?
