I was quoting Futurama, since I thought that's where @avclub-7e7a5f8546ebd7950b3d484e725f66b2:disqus was going. But it would be designed for one "atmosphere of pressure" so it can land on Earth. Well, the Planet Express Ship was, anyway. And the Enterprise was built on Iowa dirt, so it presumably can handle…
