do you think that things will be like star trek one day?

The Enterprise doesn't have to be aerodynamic, it's a space ship....it never goes into an atmosphere.

It occasionally does, if you're following the reboot canon, just watch the beginning of Into Darkness.

Not as sure about Original ST, NG, DS9, Voyager or any others; I need to rewatch.

Voyager goes into atmosphere a lot. It even has specific landing struts to do it. Obviously DS9 doesn't, don't think a galaxy class starship has the capability to land. But even still, being aerodynamic doesn't really matter when you've got shields and a reinforced polarized hull.

But even in the first reboot (09 star trek: the Star Trek) the enterprise clearly must have had to take off from atmosphere because they show it being built on there ground. Which is utterly retarded as starships are built in space in federation ship yards, owing to the fact that the ships are huge and lifting off from the ground isn't what they're designed for.

But I guess JJ wanted to create a thematic bridge between young Kirk and the enterprise so he'd eventually grow up and become darth vader.
