If I had a nickel for every time a Genesis device was used to reconstruct a nebula into a planet (instead of its intended purpose of terraforming an existing planet), I'd have two nickels-- which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.
I saw a YouTube video of a guy cooking a steak by wrapping it in aluminum foil and putting the hotel iron on top. But an iron gets a lot hotter than that warming plate, plus beef is less bad to eat undercooked.
Is this the first time we've seen Starfleet deploy a kinetic missile?
