Nitcentral's Bulletin Brash Reflections: DS9: DS9 Kitchen Sink: *** Old Sinks ***: Trek's Influence

I've been playing the computer game "Alpha Centauri" with the addition that is with it, and some of the base names are interesting- "Deep Platform Nine" and "Deep Sea Nine". I guess the programmers were DS9 fans, or at least had the idea in their heads somehow. I decided to see if people have found other areas where things have been clearly influenced by Star Trek.

Crimson Tide had a Star Trek Reference, as did Spaceballs. And don't forget Sea Quest, DSV... It was Star Trek underwater.

And there has been stuff in The Simpsons but we all know how much Phil hates us talking about that.

Don't forget the movie "Galaxy Quest"!

Here is a real life Star Trek reference, I read today that scientists are working on a crystal storage medium for computers. It would, theoreticaly, have a memory storage of 10 TB (10,000 GB) per cm³. Today's storage is around 100 KB per cm³.

This sounds a lot like an Isolinear chip.

(Okay, so it should have flown in space..."
