Klingons on the starboard bow! Very stylish, and if you're not chosen on October 21, a Skylon would be much faster than a Rapture Jetpack.

Witness the man who raves at the wall
Making the shape of his questions to Heaven
Whether the sun will fall in the evening
Will he remember the lesson of giving?

Set the controls for the heart of the sun.
The heart of the sun, the heart of the sun.
