Sounds like speeders are garbage if they can't operate where a Toyota does.

Piece of poo poo equipment delivered to the Space Nazi military by some dubious subcontractor probably protected by nepotism or something. Checks out.

I was just guessing on Mars, so okay, fair.

Most sci-fi basically treats planets as... countries is often generous, more like individual cities, Warhammer at least is self-aware about it.

"It was raining on Planet Mongo that night."

Also an awful lot of planets look suspiciously like this disused quarry an hour's drive from the movie or TV studio.

The holodeck will absolutely 100% be society's final invention.

Based on what I've seen of Star Trek, it's also horribly unsafe to the point where no organization at all concerned with health and safety would allow one.

You got to fix the paradox somehow, the space shuttle Enterprise somehow exists in the history of the Star Trek universe.

"Enterprise" had a long history as a ship name for centuries before either the American space program or the Star Trek series began, though.

If it wasn't for Star Trek, the shuttle would be named Constitution, not Enterprise. It was a concerted letter-writing campaign to Ford that got it named Enterprise.

Yeah okay. Maybe one of the later shuttles would be an Enterprise? It's been one of the US' favourite ship names for a long time.
