Remember a while back I wondered what 'myths' from Star Wars might be testable on the show?
Same thing here, can you think of any scenes/myths from the Star Trek series or films that might be testable on Mythbusters?
The only idea I can think of is seeing how practical the bridge layout of the ships would be in reality. The Enterprise D's layout, for example, has the tactical officer (ie the guy who keeps the shields up and fires the weapons) standing behind a curved railing. This strikes me as a bad design since the tactical officer ends up having to work the controls with one hand while hanging on to the railing with the other so he doesn't end up on the floor when someone starts shooting at them. (You know, those times when you really need to keep the shields up and might want to fire the weapons.)
I do seem to recall something about the US Navy studying the bridge layout of the (original series) Enterprise at some point.
