Um... last I heard, warp technology still needed some work, and without it
it would take quite a few lifetimes to reach the Klingon homeworld with
today's technology. And that's assuming you have the co-ordinates (do
you?) I suppose we'd need to clear spaceflights with the FAA or
something. And do you know anyone with a spacecraft they can lend? The
KLI's runabout is in the shop.
I think going to the homeworld is going to be less than easy.
