[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mark Nguyen: [QB] >Is it really that much harder to move a bubble >of water through space than a bubble of air? In the early days of space travel, you betcha - even today, the thing NASA tends to worry about a LOT is the water they take up with them. It's bloody heavy, not static, and if it leaks it can muck stuff up a zillion times more than air. If the Xindi weren't given their spaceflight technology, there's no way the aquatics would have developed space travel - not with four species of air-breathers to do it for you. Now, obviously the aquatics CAN travel through space, as they had to get off their homeworld somehow. But as to their usefulness in space, I highly doubt they'd be regular crew on any Xindi ships. >Well, they weren't in a real lab.

One wonders then why a normal lab wouldn't be proofed against stuff blowing up. Well, at least they aren't doing it in Engineering as they so often do in Trek... >I'm guessing it was just the inner door. If they >blew out both doors, it would have caused a hull >breach when their ship pulled away. True, and as they leave the ship, they do in fact close the intact outer door. But then if they could get through the outer door so easily, why not do the same with the inner? Did they want to surprise/attack/disable some of the defenders that way? OTOH, they obviously didn't need it on the way out, and they didn't have a problem with leaving the ship intact overall. Mark [/QB][/QUOTE]
