I'm OK with that - I won't be worried until the aliens come back to chat with the whales.

I'm holding out for a lever-action phaser rifle. With buckhorn sights.

I'm impressed with how that 1.6" laminate stops a .50 BMG armor piercing round dead in its tracks. Amazing!

I'm a big Scotty fan, but he didn't invent invisible aluminum...

... unless he went back in time and built Wonder Woman's airplane.

I'm sure the true comic book geeks will know I'm wrong and that's not what her plane was made of. Set me straight.

You're probably right, but every time I start looking into anything "Wonder Woman" associated my train of thought runs off the tracks...

See: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wonder_Woman
It was described over the years as being a reincarnation of Pegasus, or some kind of Amazon technology, or alien technology - a kind of llife form. Later, Wayne industries (Batman) created it because her plane was stuck somewhere - "Themyscira" (?)

Personally, I don't believe there ever was a Wonder Woman plane; I believe that Scotty traveled back in time to invent transparent aluminum, however.
