When Zefram Cochrane made his legendary warp flight
90 years ago... and drew the attention of
:16:11
our new friends, the Vulcans, we realized
that we weren't alone in the galaxy.
:16:18
Today we're about to cross a new threshold.
:16:22
For nearly a century, we've waded
ankle-deep in the ocean of space...
:16:27
now it's finally time to swim.
:16:37
The warp 5 engine wouldn't be a reality
without men like Doctor Cochrane
:16:40
and Henry Archer, who worked
so hard to develop it.
:16:44
So it's only fitting that
Henry's son, Jonathan Archer,
:16:48
will command the first starship
powered by that engine.
:17:03
Rather than quoting Doctor Cochrane,
I think we should listen to his own words
:17:07
from the ground breaking ceremony for
the Warp 5 Complex... 32 years ago...
:17:13
On this site, a powerful engine will be built...
:17:18
an engine that will someday let us travel
a hundred times faster than we can today.
:17:23
Imagine it. Thousands of inhabited
planets at our fingertips.
:17:29
And we'll be able to explore
those strange new worlds...
:17:32
and seek out new life and new civilizations.
:17:36
This engine will let us go boldly...
:17:39
where no man has gone before.
