    So, it appears that each time you refresh the page, the three feeds that work are different each time... Each feed shows the same thing each time, but which ones are working changes... pretty cool!

    @brent:

    It's actually "Utopia Planetia".

    God, I'm a Trekkie.

    @ RIch: I found the same numbers, and looked up as coordinates: no luck so far. 16 numbers, 4 sets... I dunno.

    The components for the NCC-1701 -- if they hold true to one not-quite-canon sourcebook -- are built in the San Francisco shipyards and transported to space for final assembly. Utopia Planitia's on Mars, so this'd probably be a different shipyard.

    (though, yes, Utopia Planitia's where the NCC-1701-D was built)

    Re- Rich
    The numbers add up to 1933 - a date? That old time travel game? I think Hitler came to power around then..clutching at straws here...

    Fun facts....the original King Kong came out in 1933, a movie about a giant creature in Manhattan. Cloverfield, another J.J. Abrams movie, takes place in Manhattan and deals w/ a large creature as well. There was a Star Trek preview before the Cloverfield movie. And also Nichelle Nicols was born in 1933. All I did to get these facts was google "star trek 1933 movie" and went and saw Cloverfield. Good movie BTW.

    Funny that you mention 1933.

    The TOS episode 'The City at the edge of Forever' was based in the '30s - the one with Joan Collins as Edith Keeler.

    Given what I've been reading about possible plotlines for ST XI I'd say you're on to something.
