Why did Geordi LaForge stop wearing his trademark visor?
I am becoming more of a Star Trek fan everyday. I am most fond of Star Trek: The Next Generation. I have not become a full-blown Trekkie, yet. Data is my favorite character. My second preferred depiction is none other than Geordi LaForge. I like him because of his close bond with Data. I am most fascinated by his outlandish visor that he dons. I find it quite mesmerizing how they have the technology that enables a blind man to see in the distant future. As I watched other movies of the later genre, I noticed that LaForge is no longer wearing the visor. Instead, he has bright blue crystalline eyes. Why is that? Is it because LeVar Burton became disoriented because that visor distorted his view? Did he request to wear blue contact lenses thus prompting the producers to work that into the script? Why did they not give LeVar Burton a new visor or a pair of futuristic sunglasses instead of giving him custom made contacts?

I have no idea if it was disorientating but he wore it for a very long time so I would tend to say it wasn’t. I remember from watching that the new eyes gave him slightly better vision than his visor because he said he can see more clearly without the visor. I’m not sure why they gave him the blue eyes exactly but I would suppose the director’s/actor/costume people would have discussed what could be done before the films started and I would suppose that they changed it because it was further in to the "star trek future".

Data’s always been my favourite.

Bottle Rocket (1996) IMDB rating: 7.20 Plot: Upon his release from a mental hospital following a nervous breakdown, the directionless Anthony joins his friend Dignan, who seems far less sane than the former. Dignan has hatched a hair-brained scheme for an as-yet-unspecified crime spree that somehow involves his former boss, the (supposedly) legendary Mr. Henry. With the help of their pathetic neighbor and pal Bob, Anthony and Dignan pull a job and hit the road, where Anthony finds love with motel maid Inez. When our boys finally hook up with Mr. Henry, the ensuing escapade turns out to be far from what anyone expected.

How to Work Out The Stored Energy in a Water Rocket?
I have a massive A-Level water rockets project going on at the moment and am in need of some serious help!!!
Basically i am trying to work out the initial velocity of the water rocket, using the theory of conservation of energy.
If i could work out the stored energy in the water rocket when the bung is forced out of the bottle, i could then convert this to the kinetic energy of both the water and the rocket, and thud work out the initial velocity of the water rocket.
So what i really need to know is an equation that gives the STORED ENERGY IN A PRESSURE VESSEL!!!

Any help would be much appreciated x

The initial velocity of water rocket you are "trying to work out" is zero. beyond that, you should use conservation of energy only to calculate instantaneous relative ejection speed of water for a given gas pressure. The water in stationary frame will not all move at same speed because rocket speed changes and pressure drops, so you’ll have to deal with an integral. Consider rocket equation, adiabatic gas law, and gravitational force. Adiabatic law takes account of fact that the air cools as it expands.
