Moving away from my making a space ship thread, another feature in star trek consists of the "Beaming" method which can transport Someone from ony place to another. How could you do this in real life and what do you need? Ty Looking foward to the replies

Wow! Theres some really good point making going on here .. i just dont know what to say now.. except... Star trek was meant to be set in the future.. so maybe we should give it some time because its not FUTURE enough lol... C'mon there must be another Einstien out there!

How about using the engines from rockets just to get off earth but maybe have a large supply of oxygen in a mass contains on the shuttle so the engines can be powered??? Or does the oxygen actually have to be in the air ?

Hmm.. good point.. never thought of that Why doesnt it work in space? Is it because theres no oxygen.. sorry im a noobie lol

Indeed.. Although how about testing with a little shuttle craft that uses an engine from a really fast Superjet? I mean who says we have to start building U.S.S enterprises all of a sudden straight away. From building a a little shuttle craft scientists can expand their knowledge and experiment with different components.

woahza's!.. Just came back from school and im really surprised on the amount of replies lol well lets just say... give it some years and scientists combined with engineers might even be able to make a spaceship .. Whoo knowssss Merged post follows: Consecutive posts merged... and in star trek "Zefram Cochrane" invented the warp drive in 2063... soo.. i guess we just might need to wait a while

Hey guys After watching star trek I was thinking .. why can't we build an awsome spaceship like that and send it off into space where it can warp to different galaxy's. 1.)What does it take? 2.)What materials are needed? 3.)IS IT EVEN POSSIBLE?! note: Im just a 16 year old trekkie inspired by star trek and sciencee Thankssss guys - I look foward for replies
