TNG s7e12 “The Pegasus”
Stealing the punchline for my tombstone:
That’s, um… a very specific date in the near future. Care to elaborate?
Just pulled it out of the air. :shrug:
Provide a satisfying ending to a series?
Who’s an admiral now, motherfucker?

While I’m there, let’s watch the entire 4 years of the travels of NX-01
I do remember the line from the BSG Miniseries where they are talking about caclulating their first jump. Something like, “If we are off by even a few percentage points, we could end up in the middle of the sun!” and I was thinkijng, “Like, you’d be off in your calculations by a whole percentage point?” I mean, I know there’s no networked computers allowed on the galactica, but a calculator should be able to handle it.
Edit: Though, now in retrospect, I imagine a first jump calculation would involve estimating mass, which is going to be imprecise. Probably after your first jump you can infer your mass from your location.
