Ep 148 - Is Star Fleet a Military

What are the questions that come up when we militarize space? Is
there a problem when you show up to a first contact in ship loaded
with weapons? Who makes decisions when messages to the civilian
oversight back home take days or weeks to be delivered?

Rob McKenzie is back to talk about these issues and more in Star
Trek, Battlestar Galactica, Stargate and sci-fi fiction.
