One of my absolute FAVORITE out of context Trek quotes comes from this episode. "Get the cheese to sick bay, the doctor should look at it as soon as possible." but I usualy shorten it to just "Get the cheese to sick bay!".
It was a 3/4 size model, wasn't it? Surely they could tow it on a trailer?
Edit: from wikipedia
Art director Matt Jefferies originally envisioned a sleek, streamlined shuttle based upon his background as a pilot. The curved shape proved too expensive to build for the first episodes.[3] AMT offered to build a full-sized shuttlecraft at no cost in exchange for rights to market a model kit. The final design of the mockup, by Gene Winfield,[4] is 24 feet (7.2 m) long and weighs one ton, has a plywood hull, and was built in two months by a team of 12 people. A separate set was used for interior scenes as the mockup was too small for filming.[5]
That game came out when I happened to be really into the PBS Space Time series and I was learning as much as my brain could comprehend about general vs special relativity; which is all I can say without spoiling the game lol. So even if I could forget all of the story I don't think it would have quite the same impact. It would still be something magic though I'm sure. I still enjoy watching others experience the game for the first time too.
I went back and tried to play the DLC and even that just wasn't the same. I want to play them both blind.

payment processing isn't handled by individual websites. You can see this one is powered by Square (that mobile pay company with the little white pucks you could slide into your headphone jack back in the day)
A fellow cartoon connoisseur I see!
Today I ordered some chicken nuggets from mcdonalds and asked for hot mustard sauce. the kid at register had no clue what that was and gave me some sort of chipotle sauce. we are, indeed, getting old.
I saw that. If you go into about:config and diisable literally everything that has 'ml' in the name you can turn this bs off. One day i'll switch browsers D= 
Also it's really funny to me that publicly all these companies are shouting "AI!" but the engineers seem to know it's really just machine learning.
edit There are also some *.ml strings you can just straight up delete.
That's definitely less than ideal.
I'm not trying to support AI but I'm pretty sure the water that is "lost" to data centers is due to evaporation, which would return it to the water cycle. I think the rest of the water use is "closed loop", so minimal losses.
