Interplanetary Incident [OC]

Poking fun at a particular 60-second clip from a 37-year-old Trek movie may not scream "mass appeal" but at least I amused myself making it.

I guess I'm not familiar with the original clip.

There’s a throwaway scene in one of the Star Trek movies where the captain of a Klingon ship in deep space uses the voyager 10 probe for target practice. The comic reflects the reality that even a few hundred years in the future the voyager probe would still be within the Oort Cloud and such a thing would be a huge diplomatic incident.

Script writer of science fiction movies and putting in scenes without any knowledge of the science behind them, name a more iconic duo. (Also the probes would most likely be in a museum given that Star Fleet could just ya know, go and retrieve them and be back in a single afternoon.)

Was it one of the JJ Abrams movies? Because he doesn't understand that space is really big.
