Default Re: OT: Enterprise...What did you think?

at warp 1 a ship could travel from the sun to earth in about 8 seconds
I have to correct this one:
Earth is 8 light-MINUTES from the sun, not seconds.
Warp 1 is the speed of light. So the ship would take 8 minutes at warp 1.

8 seconds at warp one would take you only a few earth-moon lengths away.
