Yeah, I think in terms of a regularly scheduled passenger transport, something like a runabout or even larger could be considered a "shuttle" by civilian standards.

I like exercise that is also something else and isn't purely exercise for its own sake. Things like hiking, where I get to see scenery and animals, or biking, which serves as a mode of transportation. Currently, I do renaissance fencing, which is fun and social in its own right, and I get to master a skill.

"The length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of ⁠1/299792458⁠ of a second, where the second is defined by a hyperfine transition frequency of caesium."

This is the actual definition, but it's also pretty weird.

I got a closeup of the plaque. I imagine it's the same one in the series, as most of the bridge is the exact set from Picard.

That's a nice bag!

I made a Voyager jacket (the separate variant that Janeway wears a handful of times) and I just put on a pair of black slacks as pants so I'd have pockets. Worked out pretty nice.

They had somebody taking pictures as we came in, but I lost the card they gave us so those pics are gone forever.

That spot was self-service when I got there, people were just taking turns taking pictures for people.

I know the VIP tickets got semi-private guided tours, I wonder if they got extra time for photos as part of that.

I went a few weeks ago, it was an awesome experience! My biggest disappointment was simply that the experience was so rushed and we didn't get enough time to appreciate being on the bridge.

I was wearing a Voyager uniform with Captain's pips, and one of the actors said "Glad to have you aboard, Captain," which absolutely made my night.
