Everything You Need To Know To Build Your Own Enterprise
Star Trek screenwriter Roberto Orci wades into the controversy over whether the Enterprise was built on Earth with a super-complicated explanation. Apparently if you're building a starship with simulated Earth gravity, it's best to construct it in the gravity well you're simulating.
