Interesting ideas. I just can't get past the fact the a Director as NASA actually said, "Anybody that watches the [Star Trek] Enterprise, you know you don’t see huge plumes of fire". As if, instead of drawing from science fiction as inspiration, he uses it as a blueprint.

You know what else we don't see, Director Worden? Human Teleportation. And Klingons.

I think he was just using it as an example that would be familiar to the audience.
