You know, I actually made an allusion to this movie the other day. I was describing my old, cheap, undeniably ugly bike helmet to someone.

When it's just that covering shell, my head in helmet resembles it entirely.

Heh, you know you have a point, it does look like a bike helmet doesn't it? Or a big silver walnut. I've always loved that ship design though, and it's amazing how well the effects hold up when you rewatch it :) The science in it though...man, I'm glad I fell in love with this film as a kid when I didn't know any better...
I don't think even the Enterprise at warp 10 could go 570 light years in 2 hours. Oi :P *is thinking way too much*
