Translations

Some terms are not from this world - nowadays...

It's hard to translate the futuristic terms and abbreviations into english, but it's possible (I hope :-).

First I thought the translation has to be very close to the original text.
And if we use "light speak" for "Lichtspruch",
we need a "light" - term for "Lichtwerfer", something like "light thrower" ...
But maybe a "laser canon" is much more adequat here? What do you think?

What about the "Rücksturz zur Erde". "Dive back to earth"?
Space Patrol composer Peter Thomas used "Warp back to earth" for one of his records. Is "warp" only for Trekkies?
