Yeah, but we are all talking about changing teleport, not banning it.  Nobody wants to ban teleport, we just want to change how it works so it isn't as problematic.If you give group teleport, why do you need airships?   From Cracked:Now, the 2009 film has a major plot point where Kirk needs to be teleported onto the Enterprise, but the Enterprise is moving at warp speed at the time. Scotty figures out a way to do it, and the movie celebrates this achievement as being the first time anyone has ever been transported to an object moving that fast. But that isn't the point.The Enterprise is shooting off at Warp 3 just before Scotty and Kirk beam aboard. Warp 3, by the way, is 27 times the speed of light. Or 5 million miles a second. That means that by the time Kirk has finished saying, "I really liked you in Shaun of the Dead," the Enterprise would be out of the solar system. A distance Scotty has no trouble overcoming with his transporter.So, uh, why do we need spaceships again?Read more: 7 Movies That Ignored World Changing Discoveries | Cracked.com <a href="http://www.cracked.com/article_19037_7-movies-that-ignored-world-changing-discoveries.html#ixzz22H3TmrxC" target="_blank">7 Movies That Ignored World Changing Discoveries | Cracked.com</a></blockquote>
