As a young boy growing up I believe I had the priveledge of letting my imagination expand through watching T.V. and movies. Watching Flash Gordon oldies and the re makes as well as Buck Rogers in the 25th century is what started it all. Then I was hit with Star Trek and Star Wars and that sealed the deal. I started looking up to the stars more and more each evening before I went to bed, eventually scoring a very crappy telescope for my birthday.

I've always wanted to fly in my very own space ship and explore the stars with a blaster at my side (just in case). I started to grow up and the effects in movies and television improved and it allowed for more elaborate story lines being applied to the science aspect of space travel. Then in 1986 a movie called Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home was released and I had my mind blown. (For those of you younger readers, it's worth the download online) I won't spoil the movie but the crew of the Enterprise had to attempt time travel by sling shooting around the Sun past Warp 10 speed.

The questions stayed and would keep popping back into my brain for months at a time. How the hell could they pull it off? Such a tiny ship, wouldn't it be incinerated before they even got close, even at that speed? What about the gravitational pull? How in the f*ck were they going to escape the Sun's gravity without getting sucked in & then incinerated.
