Project Genesis proposal date[]
Is this a confirmed date? Where is this date from? Stardate 7130.4: Carol Marcus sends a proposal for Project Genesis to the Federation authorities. (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan) The stardate puts it closer to TMP that TWOK. I find it hard to believe they created the device, tested the underground tunnel device all within a year of the said proposal date. ‐ Yaroze86 (talk) 15:11, 16 September 2024 (UTC)

Looks like it needs to be reworded. "This concludes this demonstration tape. Thank you for your attention. The Genesis team eagerly awaits the decision of the Federation regarding the next phase of our work." This appears more like an additional funding for the project than the actual submission of the project. Would you agree?
The entry under Carol Marcus makes it even more confusing: Carol continued with her work, enjoying much success. In 2284, she proposed the most ambitious and potentially dangerous of her plans to the Federation, dubbed "Project Genesis". Once her proposal was accepted for Federation funding, she began a three-stage development process aboard the station Regula I, accompanied by a highly skilled team of scientists which included her son, Dr. David Marcus.
For Carol's entry, I think it needs to be more so written as: Sometime prior to 2284, she proposed the most ambitious and potentially dangerous of her plans to the Federation, dubbed "Project Genesis". In 2284 she submitted for a proposal for additional funding to the Federation regarding the next phase of their work. Thus it sounds like she has already moved past at least one phase of the project (though more than likely already completed the second).
For the 2284 entry it should be more so: Stardate 7130.4: Carol Marcus sends a funding proposal for Project Genesis to the Federation authorities. (Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan) I think that lies where the confusion comes from.... ‐ Yaroze86 (talk) 15:43, 16 September 2024 (UTC)
