I thought I knew everything (almost) there is to know about Trek, but how on earth are they going to get the thing off the ground?! ;)

Impulse engines of course :)

Well yes, but these ships aren't configured for atmospheric flight to my knowledge. Voyager was the only ship able to land apart from smaller vessels like Danube class Runabouts.

All of the Starship were capable of 'in atmosphere' flight via impulse engines - though it could be catastrophic to the area below the ship - The saucer section was fully capable of landing on the planet while the rest stayed in orbit.

Yes, in atmosphere flight possibly, but there have been many occasions on the shows that indicated if the ship stayed any longer in the atmosphere it would be destroyed due to the temperature stress on the hull. I'm happy to pick out some examples. And as far as the landing of the saucer was concerned, I always thought - and I'm sure I read that - it was only for emergency purposes, not in fact a casual on the go thing. The only ship that could seperate and re-integrate was the Galaxy class to my knowledge, but I'm happy to be taught otherwise. ;) Of course other ships did and do land, like the Klingon Bird of Prey, but just talking about Federation starships, I did not think - apart from Voyager - any of these could, at least in a normal, non-emergency situation which would allow lift-off again afterward. And if we have a look, later on the shipyards were in starbases (McKinley Station or Utopia Planitia Fleet Yards orbitting Mars).

Yes, it is very 'stressful' to the hull integrity (and remembering most of their 'landings' where way to fast - way to down angled... and with no power to the impulse engines... ) with the impulse they could land - though not sure if they could actually take off again :? - The saucer could fly into and back out atmosphere - but it was not a recommended thing..

That makes sense then with what I thought. I'm not completely insane then! ;)

Man far from insane - why do you think they build them in space - too stressful for 'full ship take off' ...
