Obviously, they weren't on Earth.
Okey dokey.
Evasive because not actually logically relevant.
So we are to assume that every planet in the galaxy is going to be built exactly like conditions on Earth?
That's not logical in the slightest.
We need the worlds to be strange but not like...strange strange...they have to obey Earth geoforms, structures and norms.
Because...reasons
Lots of planets have a north.
And some - like Hoth in the Star Wars franchise - seem to be all "North."
As long as we can use a soundstage or Vasquez Rocks, it's all good.
Sorry really late to the party but this is the best pilot for a new Trek show we have come up with in this thread since I joined. An Earth-Romulan War series not only with intelligent social and military commentary but also just a bunch of badass engineers finding a bunch of derelict space shuttles and modding them with a tonne of missiles and laser weapons. Star Trek: Operation ET Go Home!Seeing the Space Shuttle fight the Rommies would've been awesome
That either conflicts with TNG and "Encounter at Farpoint" or it's not exactly the same United Earth or UESPA as the Enterprise-era organization we see, if we take Q at his word.
BAILIFF: Before this gracious court now appear these prisoners to answer for the multiple and grievous savageries of their species. How plead you, criminal?
DATA: If I may, Captain? Objection, your honour. In the year 2036, the new United Nations declared that no Earth citizen could be made to answer for the crimes of his race or forbears.
Q (JUDGE): Objection denied. This is a court of the year 2079, by which time more rapid progress had caused all United Earth nonsense to be abolished.
Strictly speaking, the existence of UESPA in 2067 doesn't require that there actually be a United Earth.
A United Earth space probe agency doesn't necessarily presuppose that the Earth itself is united.
Or perhaps there WAS a United Earth 1.0 back then, which was relatively weak and ineffectual and did indeed fall as Q said it did. That would allow for the eventual rising of United Earth 2.0 which succeded where its earlier counterpart failed.
Kind of like the League of Nations vs. United Nations.

UESPA could have been the immediate response by surviving world governments and corporate interests after World War III to Zefram Cochrane and First Contact. "Damn, we nearly wiped ourselves out just a few short years ago and we really need to come together now to prove to these Vulcans that humanity is worthy of deep space travel." So by 2065 when the S.S. Valiant expedition is launched UESPA is already in place, however tenuously.
Warning: Major Spoilers ahead!!!
So they completely sidestepped the issue of how to fit a Galaxy-class starship through the doors of the old Spacedock. By putting her in the lower "mushroom"
