The safest way to travel

  Do you think there are lazy jerks on the Enterprise who only take the turbolift up one deck, holding it up for everyone else?

    For sure. And don’t get me started on all the people who stop it mid-way through to have a conversation.

      Every time that happens, I picture some poor ensign who desperately needs to get somewhere just waiting by the turbolift as Deanna and Picard have a heart-to-heart for 5 minutes.

    Makes me wonder: are there stairs on a starship? I only know the turbo lift and jeffry tubes and I get when people prefer the former

      There was on the original Enterprise. The idea was that the doors to them would automatically open if there was a failure to the turbolift system and would otherwise be closed.

    McCoy: “Who’s holding up the damn elevator?”

      I forgot about that line. The one time someone complains. How often did Picard have to wait for a turbolift because, say, Riker and Geordi are having a conversation in one?

    Well yeah, what are they gonna do, take the tubes? I’d sooner ask for a site to site…

      There’s gotta be stairs there somewhere!

  I’ve had bad dreams like this, with just crazy high staircase or scaffolding, and it’s absolutely terrifying to a guy with a fear of heights

  It's much easier to jump, just remember to pump up your reeboks first 👍

  I was gonna suggest a shuttle, but then there’s all the shuttle crashes. I wonder which there’s more of.

  Aldebaran’s great, okay,
  Algol’s pretty neat,
  Betelgeuse’s pretty girls
  Will knock you off your feet.
  They’ll do anything you like
  Real fast and then real slow,
  But if you have to take me apart to get me there
  Then I don’t want to go.

  Singing,
  Take me apart, take me apart,
  What a way to roam
  And if you have to take me apart to get me there
  I’d rather stay at home.

  Sirius is paved with gold
  So I’ve heard it said
  By nuts who then go on to say
  “See Tau before you’re dead.”
  I’ll gladly take the high road
  Or even take the low,
  But if you have to take me apart to get me there
  Then I, for one, won’t go.

  Singing,
  Take me apart, take me apart,
  You must be off your head,
  And if you try to take me apart to get me there I’ll stay right here in bed

  That’s not going to work! You need hand rails

  “I came here the easy way: down the stairs.” “Down the stairs? To Ursa Minor‽ Wow, you must be unbelievably fit.”

  Technically, that’s a space elevator.
