[QUOTE]Originally posted by Peregrinus: [QB] One thing I want to make sure you're keeping in mind is that the Trek univers ain't ours. The two diverged at some point, but maintained a near-parallel track (complete with many minor details and events being identical) up through the mid-20th century. From the looks of things, I'd bet in the Trek universe, Kennedy wasn't assassinated. Also, have we ever had an actual onscreen reference to a "World War III"? All the dialogue I can remember on the subject refers to a "Third World War", which can be interpreted in more than one way. A war in -- or heavily involving -- the Third World being one of the most intriguing... The Eugenincs Wars were not this Third World War. From what we can glean, much of the world's populace was unaware of these "wars", as they involved seriously closed-door intrigues and politicking and power playing. The defeat of the genetic supermen, however, evidently did set the stage for the Third World War, as it seemed to follow the Eugenics Wars closely, but not right on the heels of Khan's departure. And if the Botany Bay did a double slingshot around Jupiter and Saturn (or maybe even the sun), followed by a protracted burn of whatever the primary propulsion system was, they might have gotten up to an appreciable percentage of lightspeed and been coasting at what for us would be mid-to-high-impulse speeds by the time the Enterprise found her. --Jonah [/QB][/QUOTE]
