[citation][nom]TidalWaveOne[/nom]Yeah, but does it fly?[/citation]
Just apply a warp field, blow on it and it will fly millions of (to scale) miles an hour!

What happens when they get to Enterprise Z?

dang "Rather than using s pre-purchased kit and lots of modeling glue, the duo fabricated the infamous starship with a 30 kV Ga+ focused-ion-beam CVD using phenanthrene gas."

where is my pocket protector and cokebottle glasses when I need them

Anyway, nanotechnology will be awesome. When machines are built on a molecular level (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Molecular_machine) life as we know it will change. At least it sounds cool when you say that! Seriously. If it got out of hand, everything would turn into a silver goo (the entire planet).

[citation][nom]Rab1d-BDGR[/nom]Didn't Wesley Crusher almost do that by accident to the "real" enterprise D in one episode?[/citation]I personally don't know but it is real life scenario just not attainable yet. I just read about "Green-Goo" which is a biological nano fabrication where they make new organisms. Greeeeeat.

Um not sure about that. If this follows Star Trek suit, nano tech will just lead to the Borg.

[citation][nom]thinslicedbread[/nom]So this is what happens when you reach Warp 10....[/citation]
You missed the Voyager episode where they reached warp 10 for a few seconds, didn't you?
