Puns with Picard Part I

No Rush? No way man, I'm not going then!
There’s no Rush, therefore we’re delaying arriving there for as long as possible.
So there's so little rush, they're cool with taking a couple centuries to get there?
No one said the coloky was far away.
If the colony was in the same star system, traveling there at sublight would take months. If it's in a different but close-by system, you could maybe get there in a couple of years if you could travel at close to lightspeed, but a) getting close to lightspeed without some major physics trickery like a warp drive is ridiculously hard and b) at that speed, you'd run into relativistic effects, making the time go much slower from your perspective than everyone else's.
Light takes 5 and a half hours to reach Pluto, even going just half of light speed it wouldn’t take months to get around a solar system. A run around Pluto in a few hours is literally how Generations opened.

/c/TenForward: Your home-away-from-home for all things Star Trek!
Re-route power to the shields, emit a tachyon pulse through the deflector, and post all the nonsense you want. Within reason of course.
~ 1. No bigotry. This is a Star Trek community. Remember that diversity and coexistence are Star Trek values. Any post/comments that are racist, anti-LGBT, or generally "othering" of a group will result in removal/ban.
~ 2. Keep it civil. Disagreements will happen both on lore and preferences. That's okay! Just don't let it make you forget that the person you are talking to is also a person.
~ 3. Use spoiler tags.
Use spoiler tags in comments, and NSFW checkbox for posts.
This applies to any episodes that have dropped within 3 months prior of your posting. After that it's free game.
~ 4. Keep it Trek related. This one is kind of a gimme but keep as on topic as possible.
~ 5. Keep posts to a limit. We all love Star Trek stuff but 3-4 posts in an hour is plenty enough.
~ 6. Try to not repost. Mistakes happen, we get it! But try to not repost anything from within the past 1-2 months.
~ 7. No General AI Art. Posts of simple AI art do not 'inspire jamaharon'
~ 8. No Political Upheaval. Political commentary is allowed, but please keep discussions civil. Read here for our community's expectations.
Fun will now commence.
