How this Star Fleet spaceship could be brought to life with real world technology
Interstellar travel might not always be science fiction
1 DEFLECTOR
Fending off enemy lasers and withstanding space radiation is an everyday task for the Enterprise. But thanks to the ship’s allencompassing deflector shield, it can withstand such attacks. The closest scientists have gotten to replicating any sort of shielding technology that could protect future spacecraft involves generating a protective electromagnetic field. Much like how Earth shields itself from solar radiation, researchers have found a way to replicate a similar shield against radiation in the laboratory, but its spacecraft applications remain unclear.
