good episode. I liked the explanation of M Class and planetary ratings being based on Vulcan standards. I always figured humans would call them "A Class."
I also liked the idea that Enterprise being the first Warp 5 vessel is such a radical expansion of human travel ability. And how that jump in speed turned 2 year voyages in about a week.
They had a similar thing in year 2 with a freighter that ran a two month route between worlds and how the captain felt faster ships were going to kill the adventure and peace of slow space travel.

Bow ties are coool.
