Come to Quark’s, Quark’s is Fun!

General off-topic chat for the crew of startrek.website. Trek-adjacent discussions, other sci-fi television, navigating the Fediverse, server meta (within reason), selling expired cases of Yamok sauce, it’s all fair game.

I always wondered why spacecraft couldn't be wrapped in magnetic coils (with the pressurized volume like the center of a solenoid) to duplicate the effects of Earth's magnetic field. Looks like it is possible but was not practical until recently.

Good read!
