I always preferred this connector:

1 wire comms... Not sure how it's grounded exactly. Also handy for stabbing Clarence Bodicker.

It's probably RF referenced to Earth ground...

If you're a keen fan of movie history and Star Wars I recommend Akira Kurosawa's - The Hidden Fortress.

Yet another fine Kurosawa film, amongst others, that inspired a Hollywood film or remake. Including Star Wars, The Last Man Standing, A Fistfull of Dollars and The Magnificent Seven.

What are you talking about?!?!?  I can't write a "computer virus" for a alien star ship on my 1990's (?) apple powerbook?  I'm sure it has a USB B connector!  Or maybe firewire!  Oh rats.

And when someone steps on Mars eventually (who will be Alien to Mars) , the irony is that's also incoming here too already imo ..
