Ultimately, the device killed all the crew aboard in a grisly manner. To gain improved distance, Straal realized that the device needed a navigator and tortured a living being to achieve further distances. The basic theory worked, but was only good for very short distances. Mushroom Flight seems to be juuuuuust the kind of technology that most people would look at and say, "Yeah, no." Stamets was one of a kind there, or two of a kind with his partner.Īnyone looking back on the history books is going to see this - The Spore Drive was a propulsion technology that showed some promise, developed by two unethical scientists named Paul Stamets and Straal. I dont even understand why people find it so difficult to understand. There are problems with DISCO, I don't believe this is one of them. It's not impossible that the Federation "forgetting" about Omega happened again with the spore drive. Not to mention, the only way to get the drive to work was torturing an innocent sentient creature, or violating the Federation's ban on genetic augmentation. By the TNG era, everybody with personal knowledge of the spore drive was likely dead of old age and there had been no record of it in official databases for over 100 years. But, after the Glenn's malfunction killed all crew on board instantly, and Discovery was officially destroyed in battle when the spore drive exploded killing a total of almost 300 crew between both ships, the technology was written off as too dangerous a gamble and scrubbed from the records. The spore drive was a revolutionary new technology developed in the 23rd century and installed on two ships. 100 years later in the late 24th century, only captains and admirals knew about it. Due to the danger, it was scrubbed from the records, over time people forgot about it. But, after its explosion destroyed subspace in the Lantaru Sector and killed 127 top Federation scientists. The Federation's discovery of Omega was a revolutionary new technology in the 23rd century. When then DISCO season 2 finale aired and Spock suggested that knowledge of the spore drive should become top secret with nobody allowed to speak of Discovery or the spore drive ever again, some people said it was a cheap way to smooth canon over and explain why the Discovery was never mentioned again through Trek history, especially in Voyager's case.īut a revolutionary new technology from the 23rd century suddenly being scrubbed from the records and never brought up again has happened before.
