[QUOTE]Originally posted by CaptainMike: [QB] I still dont think transporter mass-transit use is safe. Geordi says thats its safer to use a transporter in a couple of transporter accident(!) episodes, 'Datas Day' & 'Realm of Fear'.. and maybe 'The Next Phase' too. But remember, statistically, in our century its safer to fly than to drive. but a) When you fly you do it in groups with a highly trained professional doing it for you b) Flying short distances is a ridiculous use of resources, so driving is more efficient and can be done personally So i suggest that these are paralells.. statistically it is safer to transport than it is to shuttle (esp. if Chakotay pilots) but a) transporting needs a professional doing it for you (i.e. not everybody can run your own pad, just like not everybody flies your own plane b) transporting short distances is a waste of resources and shuttling is more beneficial, and can be done personally (like a 'flitter' like everybody has in the novels) i started a new thread for terraforming and mars [/QB][/QUOTE]
