The Force is channeled through his clumsiness for good. I'm also a Scooby and Shaggy fan for similar reasons, although there is no explicit "Force" in that show to explain their luck. Lucas covered that better.
Those in charge only care about profits. They don't care about Trek lore, Trek culture, continuity, logic, or anything else except as it relates to profits.
Apparently they see the JJA angle as more profitable.
this movie can just not reference any [specific elements] that are in the StarTrek franchise...But will be instantly recognizable as being part of a similar universe...
"Science Officer Sock gleamed down the to surface of vacation planet Rizoff to investigate a disturbance between Klunkons and Anfloorians. Sock will take DNA samples from site of disturbance to analyze back in the science lab of the Fudderation ship, Boobyprize. However, fluffy creatures knows as 'Bebbles' have taken over the science lab. Sock asked Captain Kreck for additional resources to remove the Bebbles, but only Lieutenant Ohnono was available..."
If they both want big rockets, then split on lander side of things, such as one making the actual lander and the other making the orbiter capsule. I'm sure something can be worked out. My initial suggestion was only a starting suggestion.
It seems there's roughly 10 silly or trivial patents for every good one. Unless something drastic changes to fix that, the patent system is net drain on progress.
Most innovations come about via working on a specific product, not R&D for R&D's sake. Thus, most new ideas would happen anyhow.
As far as the idea that patents make ideas public, a private firm(s) can catalog ideas from existing products or submitters if there's really a market for such. They'd probably do it cheaper than the gov't also.
You gotta hand it to the Saudi's, they know how to play it for the longer run. High oil prices cause R&D into alternative energy and marginal oil fields. It takes a while to ramp those up.
Whenever the alternatives and marginal fields are close to kicking in, pull the plug on prices and frustrate investors. Wait a few years and the alternatives fade, giving you a near monopoly. Burnt investors then won't play again in the future, knowing the rug will again be pulled out from under them.
The danger is AI empowering the top 20% enough that the bottom 80% no longer have economic value.
Note the top 20% may NOT be us. Offshore outsourcing is cheapening the worth of brain power. The laws of physics, math, and logic are the same in Timbuktu as the USA.
The top 20% may be managers and coordinators, not "pure" geeks. We'll need people skills. Gulp!
The more of an application you do server-side, in a language of your choosing, the less you have to depend on browser JavaScript (and other browser issues). But, it takes experience to do that well. One cannot think in "desktop mode" anymore, and toss much of their desktop UI design experience. It's bummer, but it's what the Web Stack forces on us if we want to avoid JavaScript and client-versioning headaches.
Don't worry, PHB's and hypsters will invent some new fad or gimmick that will create new "standards" or product categories that F everything up and create security gaps, requiring engineers to fix.
Slashdot Mirror
...that's gotta get me out of something
No, that's just Koch Vader propaganda.
Finally something IT related instead of political bickering over whose fault the server is:

Trump is planning on banning division. It allegedly allows holes in the wall when "those bad people" divide by zero.
You do realize this is Slashdot.
Well, maybe there's money to be made in Artificial Fibbing research.
Kissing up to the boss is "recommended" in any field if you want to get ahead, not just receptionist. Truth is often not popular.

You, sir, shall have your Geek Card revoked immediately.
Hey, you insensitive clod, I'm a Jar Jar fan!

You Binks haters just don't get it.

it crashes faster, okay?

But swiping land didn't hurt Israel

Rinse, repeat, profit.
Underscorejs seems to be reinventing SQL with dots: rows = dataSource.join(...).select(...).where(...).orderby(...);
Why not split the effort with China? One make the launch vehicle(s) and the other the crew capsule and lander?
Don't drop the space-soap.
