every single representation of a spaceship in sci fi or real life proposed space craft feature windows. It's the most stupidest thing ever to include them!

Unless someone can please point to me how multiple large gaping holes of weak transparent material makes any sense to have with a system that's going to subject itself to incredibly crazy hazardous conditions, I'll change my tune.

Until then though, please join me in condemning all representations of space craft with windows. It's dumb, it's weak, it is prone to breakage and catastrophic failure to the spacecraft crew.

What wrong with multiple cameras and hyper super HD viewscreens? Would touristy people even know the difference if the video has enough FPS and resolution?

Yeah, windows on spaceships is stupid. Until there's some transparent star trek whale movie Al that's rigid, durable, strong and long lasting, please stop adding windows to spaceships because your expectations is just going to get a lot of people dead. shame

Considering that *real* world spaceships have windows, clearly it's not nearly the issue you think it is. Plus windows are useful for visual observation particularly when those cameras fail.

Plus iirc a lot of spacecraft tend to have a piece that can slide down over the windows anyway.

You say that yet I can't recall *one* instance of a real spacecraft which suffered catastrophic failure due to windows.

One more part that can go wrong, for starters, and if you don't have something to fix it you're kinda stuck going without. Those kinds of equipment tend to be even less durable than windows.

The windows in Star Trek are made of transparent aluminum.
