From: Bruce Kaufman <kaufman@nrl-css> >> Which brings up my question: In "Tomorrow is Yesterday" they spotted >> the Enterprise on radar because it was flying low. Supposedly, >> "Assignment: Earth" was supposed to take place in the early 70s (ie, >> near future) where they would have improved space tracking >> facilities. Why didn't anyone notice the lumbering starship up >> among the heavens? If my recollection was correct, I believe that is was stated in the opening "Captain's report" that the deflector screens were being used to make the Enterprise "invisible" to the old-style Earth sensors. By-the-way: for those in the D.C. area who were less than thrilled with WTTV taking the 5:00 weekly time slot of ST and replacing it with a single Saturday 10:00 AM showing, take heed. Channel 45 plays ST at 6:00 on weekdays. There really IS a God! LLAP, Barney K.
