	Apparently some readers are not too sure by what I meant
about "Cameras in Space". Let me give a few examples to clear
the confusion.

(1)	Near the beginning of the picture, when V'GER was about
	to zap them, the Klingons asked for an "external view"
	of what was happening. Like magic, a camera in space
	switched on and gave them the view.

(2)	When the outpost space-station heard about this, they too
	asked for an "external" shot of the Klingons. The cameras
	still transmitted even after the destruction of the
	Klingon ships.

(3)	When the space-station itself was threatened, James T.
	asked for the "external" view of the station and watched
	it get destroyed.

	How was this supposed to have been done? Are there cameras
in space? If these cameras are in fact satellites of the objects
they are responsible for, how are these cameras able to transmit
even when their mother object is destroyed? How was the space-station
able to get a shot of the Klingons - does everyone share these
cameras including enemies?
