Are we assuming he used antimatter containment for warp drive? Up until about 2 weeks ago, I thought everyone was assuming he used fusion or fission to power the warp drive. Are we going to let "Friendship One" change conventional wisdom so quickly?

I think taht Zemfram did a leap out and a leap back. He then esatblished an earth orbit retracted the nacelles and while using a low level Warp field entered earth atmosphere. The ship using thrusters made a landing some distance from the complex.

He roughly travelled 12x the distance of the Earth and Moon which is 300,000 km x 12 =3,600,000 miles or 3.6 light seconds

Glad to see you guy!

What are you using as the basis of your calculation? Angle of Earth-Moon in window? Timing of flight?

I hate to lecture one or two of you on etiquette - but apparently your mothers never got around to it.)

(Note to Darkstar: It is a tradition on this BBS to present opinion AS opinion, unless you can give canon-grade evidence to support it as factual in the Star Trek ficton. Failure to do so often leads to challenges of a friendly [I would hope] nature.)
