Interesting idea. I actually wrote a story where a group of young people
w= ere on an older
ship and they took it out for a cruise to see if going into space was
somet= hing that they
wanted to do. Unfortunately, something went wrong and they were left to fe= nd for
themselves until they could be rescued. It was not one of my finer efforts=
and I wrote
it too soon after reading "Lord of the Flies."
Actually, I could imagine that if O'Brien and Bashir could relive the
Battl= e of Britain
in the holodeck, anybody could relive any history. If you're so inclined,
= you can relive
the Punic Wars one day, and then the next be on the deck of those old stars= hips
battling unseen Romulans in that war. This might not be popular on a stars= hip,
but it might be big-time entertainment on the planets. I'd imagine
public-= access holodecks
would be present everywhere, and historical re-enactments could be a big
pa= rt of the
entertainment available.
