Re: "Orbital DRY-dock"?! | |

In Response To: Re: "Orbital DRY-dock"?! (Stephen L. (SoundEffect)) : Yes, a similar term is used in much science fiction, notably Star Trek. Most : naval ships are not constructed in the water, but in a dock where water's : been siphoned out. In the transition to space, the term carries over where : the ship is built in orbit, this time clearly away from water. Therefore : drydock. Thanks for the question. Well, water is to ships as space is to spaceships, so space is hardly "dry" in that context... The Boneyard would be a dry-dock. Gamma Station? Not so much.
