[...] Apparently in the future, aside from having rather barbaric childbirth practices, the warp drives are cooled by beer. [...]

well. i did not know that. although, i did think it in the scene where kirk tracks down uhura. i thought they built the sets to look that way. i never thought they went on location .

it makes total sense to me that the engineering deck is all industrial and not flashy, but they make a point in the film that the ship is brand new. so why is everything scratched and dented? maybe the engineering crew keeps bashing things up when they’re drunk from all that beer the ship runs on.

These scenes reminded of the MST3K episode “Space Mutiny” which had the special FX from the original Battlestar Galactica and filmed inside a factory, complete with brick walls and windows.

I now mock Star Trek.

Clearly, in the future world of Star Trek, star travel is facilitated by the brewing of beer. And beer making by-products are indispensible in the engineering of fuel for the warp drives.

It is nice to presume that beer will still be as important a part of our human lives in the future, as we traverse the cosmos, as it is now as we traverse this terrestrial world.
