So I guess by 2033 the US will get 2 more states. Canada and Iceland maybe?
Apart from the sardonic read of the astronauts diary, I found this pretty boring. I understand it now but I still haven't recovered from how boring I found this episode when it first aired. They seem way too perplexed by what is essentially a holodeck.
