NOMAD
Incidentally, NOMAD is NASA's Operational Messaging and Directory Service - i.e. webmail system. – Distantlycharmed 19:46, 16 January 2009 (UTC)

Removed text
I removed the following text:


 * In the episode "Dream Weaver" of , there is an homage to the Nomad probe. When the "Stormer" alien falls to his death, he lands beside a monument marked as the "Nomad Probe", launched December 14, 2002, from Cape Canaveral.  It was designed to seek out alien lifeforms.
 * In the TNG episode "Eye of the Beholder", there is an homage to Seaquest. On one personnel file Deanna Troi studies one of the officer's assignments was to the USS Seaquest.

An homage to seaQuest DSV doesn't belong in the apocrypha section, if anywhere, and the TNG homage to seaQuest belongs there even less. -- Renegade54 17:43, 19 January 2009 (UTC)


 * It is relavent to the topic, but from a non-canon source. Apocrypha is EXACTLY where it should be.Capt Christopher Donovan 03:54, May 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * We have separate pages for that, Star Trek parodies and pop culture references (television). - 04:29, May 13, 2011 (UTC)
 * It is more than a "pop reference, or a "mention", but an actual detail link between the two shows, just. As it is outside Trek canon, it is Apocrypha.  This detail was included and left alone for years, there is no reason to remove it now.Capt Christopher Donovan 04:33, May 13, 2011 (UTC)


 * Apocrypha is for the expanded Trek universe only, and Seaquest DSV is not in the Trek universe. Also, the length of something being wrong doesn't make it right. - 05:14, May 13, 2011 (UTC)

Launch date
Are we sure that the "2002" number on the schematic indicates a launch year? Isn't that speculation? -Angry Future Romulan 20:55, April 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * It seems pretty likely that was the intention. Kirk did say "Wasn't there a probe called Nomad launched in the early 2000s?" (which Spock confirmed). I bet the art department picked up on that when drawing the schematic.


 * But to minimise speculation, the article could just say "early 2000s". And the bit about Nomad on 2002 could be moved to the 2000s page.–Cleanse ( talk 23:53, April 14, 2011 (UTC)


 * Haha. I just looked at the picture above and realised in the seaQuest universe it was indeed launched in 2002. ;-)–Cleanse ( talk 23:55, April 14, 2011 (UTC)
