Could you get accepted into Starfleet Academy?

That is a really good score, because you have to have a decent working knowledge of astronomy and planetary sciences to answer those questions!

The subject fascinates me, I watch any show I can find on my streaming services. My son’s girlfriend is currently studying astrophysics. She’s way above my grade.

That's why I like your brain. Your score shows you have made it a point to learn about astronomy and space sciences.

As for your son's girlfriend, anyone studying astrophysics is okay by me!

She’s a hoot, too, she’s a professional dance instructor ballroom dancing, dances burlesque at the local gay bar, and she’s is also a professional belly dancer. She had a tragic childhood, but has risen above it, she was raised after her father’s death by her lesbian aunts. It’s quite a story. She also takes care of her grandmother and is well known for her activism in the LBGTQ community in New Mexico. Every Christmas she does a campaign to collect socks for the homeless. I have become very fond of her.

Sounds like a remarkable person!

I give you a solid "B". :)

I say if you got more than half right you did pretty well. A lot of those questions are at the margins, or even beyond, what a normal educated person could be expected to know.

I got 19/25 correct with no cheating or googling. That should be a passing score to get into Starfleet Academy.

Thanks! I sent it to Mr. Owl. He's already annoyed that his credit score is lower than mine. :laugh:

He should stop being so competitive!

With a score like yours you could just skip Starfleet Academy and get commissioned to serve on the Enterprise.

I was a little annoyed with myself for not remembering space shuttle Colombia was the first to get into orbit.
