Y'know what would have been a decidedly funny and low tech solution to getting them in and back out safely? A rope. And then Picard could say something witty and Picard speech-y like, "For all the technology we have, sometimes the simplest - and oldest - solutions are still the best."
True, but you need a rope that can withstand the tension of pulling the shuttle on top of having the length for it. On a planet, a rope only needs to be a couple hundred meters to be useful but out in space you could need hundreds of kilometers for it to work
I wondered why they couldn't have just flown the shuttle half way into the pocket of null space, that way the shuttle could've been tractored out of there if things went wrong during the rescue mission.
@@merikmalhads1676 true, but it would not necessarily have to be a thick rope. With inertia in space you wouldn't have to apply much force to pull the shuttle back out, albeit slowly. And the rope or cable could easily be recycled when done with their future tech so not a big net investment.
Sort of. Phasers produce a visible beam, and they'll use that property to see where exactly the beam seems to end. That's the boundary of null space. LIDAR doesn't produce a visible beam, and instead works by timing how long it takes the light to be reflected and come back. Wouldn't work in this case; null space doesn't reflect anything.
@@subcriticalpocket7804No we aren't. Only fake fans like you. Any of you that accept differences in aliens or mutants but despise them in real life people.
@@Herowebcomics Amen. It's interesting your name came up different on the email that alerted me of your reply. BTW how best should we fight against it?
