But how in the world does it figure into a drive? I know what a Moebius strip is. a three dimensional object with only one side... but drive? LOL
ANd yes, that is my explanation as to why in TOS people still kicked a$s and took names and in TNG everyone is so layed back.

Probably just a homage, and because Mobius looks so cool and scientific when it's properly spelled with the umlaut over the o. I seem to recall a SF story one time that used black holes to power interplanetary transport, and referred to them as "Hawking gates."

Or the ever loving hypercube.

If you can't understand the scientific gobbledegook with the Star Trek Universal Translator Implant in your mastoid process, you can always just stick a Babble Fish in your ear.

I forget where Mobius drive is from now. I know I read it somewhere or other. I remember in the Aliens books they used Einstien space instead of hyper space.
Okay how the hell do you have a three dimensional object with only one side? This is one of those things that's going to give me a head ache isn't it?
And they definentlly kicked ass and took names on TOS. I remember the second pilot episode, the one with Kirk, involved a crewman with mental powers. Kirk and Spock walked up casually and jumped him. It was great.
