Wow! If I had a nickel for every time a Trek show had a blind engineer, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice. Right?

Yeah, well have you looked at the starting salary? And the mortality rate of enlisted… all the smart species know to stay away.

Starfleet is a uniquely human thing. I wonder if the other worlds think we’re weird for wanting to explore the universe.

Vulcans in Enterprise definitely did. All of the other member races maintain their own space force so it really is a human thing even if it’s not a human thing

Wasn’t the Vulcan ship in DS9 still technically a Starfleet vessel?

That one was, but the Vulcan science directorate still has a fleet.
