Amen to that !!! No Jehova's witnesses or Mormons etc knocking on the airlock either !

In fact the original creator, Gene Roddenbury - B-17 pilot - was emphatic there should be no religeon at all ( or money, just barter/trade - truly Euphoria ) and it's reckoned he would have been horrified when such things were mentioned in later spin offs such as 'Deep Space 9' etc ...

To get back on thread, I had formed the impression the Reds are out of the country for quite a while, no doubt another sales tour for BAe - wonder if a Mk100 or 200 series might appear as well at stages?!

As a last comment on Star Trek, I could not help laughing out loud when I heard the late James Doohan - who played ' Scottie ' ( " the engines cannae take any more captain ! " ) had requested his ashes be fired into space by a rocket - it was held up by engine trouble, I hope he looked down and enjoyed that one !
