Oh, and back to the stupid Star Trek stuff. In the original concept of Star Trek: The Next Generation, William Riker was intended to be the star. After the first season or so, he was intended to replace Jean Luc Picard as captain and take a larger role in the show. However, due to the likable characters of Data and Picard, along with the talented acting of Patrick Stewart and Brent Spiner, the cast remained largely unchanged throughout the years. Jonathan Frakes (Riker) got equal screentime with all the other main characters in what shaped up to be a very successful structure that featured nearly a dozen equally elevated protagonists.
The two most commonly improvised pieces of equipment on any starfleet vessel are main deflector dish and the warp engines, in that order.
The model used for the U.S.S. Enterprise - D was held upside down, since most shots were of the bottom of the ship.

In the year 2000, scientists successfully accelerated the photons of a laser beam faster than the speed of light, using oscillating gasses in a similar fashion as used to slow down a laser beam to sub-sonic speeds. The data is hard to read, though, as the photons exited the far side of the chamber before they entered.
