Star Trek

Families on Board - As Alex says, families traveling together is Star Trek canon. Um, and since voyages are so long, coupling and families are gonna happen anyway. I'm not aware of Starfleet ever forbidding it.

I believe it was established in TNG that Starfleet ships having entire families on board was a relatively new thing and families were never shown on board in TOS. The part I was saying was canon is married couples being allowed to serve together (and in the Star Trek episode not only is the guy serving with his fiance but he's her direct reporting officer).

But I guess we can presume the intent was that Kirk would be taken off ship after being born (and that is why his mom was off-planet when stealing the car and he wasn't with her).

I did like the quiet in space thing. THey weren't super consistent about it but the nod was nice. Though combined with the insta-warp effect it did add a BSG (new one) feeling.
