  • It would actually take someone quite a while to freeze to death in space as there is no air to take the heat away. You have to radiate it and let the vacuum affect those vibrating molecules


I can enjoy the hydroponics, that is possible. I know the real reason they would have holodecks... it might not be the same reason I want one, but hell.
They don't explain why the sun is dying, they don't explain the mechanism of the solar bomb, and I already admitted that the freezing thing was a bit of a mistake.
