The Launching Pad

'''The Launching Pad''' was a [[bar]] located near the [[campus]] of [[Starfleet Academy]] on [[Earth]], during the [[24th century]]. [[Benjamin Sisko]] often frequented it when he was a [[cadet]].

One night, he and his [[Starfleet Academy 24th classmates 003|friends]] were at The Launching Pad when {{dis|Solok|Vulcan}} and several [[Vulcan]] [[Starfleet Academy 24th classmates 004|cadets]] arrived. They claimed they were doing research on "[[logic|illogical]] [[Human]] bonding rituals".

Sisko and Solok started debating Solok's view that Vulcans were "superior to Humans and other [[emotion]]ally handicapped species." Under the influence of [[alcohol]], he challenged Solok to a [[wrestling]] match and was easily defeated by the much stronger Vulcan. ({{DS9|Take Me Out to the Holosuite}})
