I am sure we are talking the USS Enterprise here. A huge American Aircraft Carrier/Starship!
My favourite sublight Spaceship is "Serenity" from the Firefly TV series of course:

What is not to admire about this workhorse, unarmed cargo vessel?
Built in the hundred thousands, and fixable with a spanner and a drop of oil.
Good ship, good crew:
I was absolutely SMITTEN with Ship's Engineer Kaylee, of course. A girl who doesn't mind getting her hands dirty or breaking a nail! 😎

Me for one didn’t spend attention to the H.M.S. … of course I didn‘t, as in switzerland there’s neither a majesty nor a battleship-fleet. Instead of H.M.S. / USS, we have CHF 🫢

Cuckoo Clocks hardly rate as Top Science!
The Bottom Line
I could be wrong on this. 🙂
Made in Schwarzwald, CN

Besides, just as various Enterprizes, the CHF hasn’t sunk (yet), although the guys at CS tried hard. We‘ll see what comes.
As long as they are millionaires… 🫢

But I always thought it a pity that scotty or cechov hadn’t a swiss assistant! Imagine the dialogues!

The educational establishments of Zurich taught Albert Einstein a thing or two ...As one of the Universes' TOP ENGINEERS, I must tell you, and there is no nice way to say this, that THE SWISS have very little to be proud of
The educational establishments probably DID teach him well - but wasn’t going to let the teachers have the satisfaction of knowing it.
He didn’t finish high school in germany (they sucked), had to apply several times at ETH (and got in after having his „Maturität“, which he only was able to achieve by peeking at his fellows math-homeworks), but yes, he did it and „ended“ in Bern before starting his career… Galu got it almost on the spot.
Beleive it or not.
There is no contradiction and makes sense....
When you understand that the teacher knows a way that is proved to work.
His teaching should not be disturbed, distracted by other ways until it is fully taught.
Only then creative other ways are welcomed for discussions.
Well, wise *****, would be young Sheldon(s) should think twice.
BTW: I have been teaching system programming. 🙂
Yesterday was not a good day. I was out walking my dog and I saw this old man sitting on the bench. As I got closer I realized it was one of my old school buddies.

You'd think that genius on the level of Einstein would would come from a long lineage of highly intelligent people, but it seems like the likes of Leonardo Di Vincy pop up at random.
