The starships exceed the speed of light, so they don’t run into the relativistic effects encountered when a crew travels at speeds approaching c. Although this did happen to the crew of the U.S.S. Columbia NX-02 when she lost her warp drive in a series of novels set during the time of Enterprise.
I loved Bob and June Wheeler. I had a fantasy that somehow they’d appear on ST:TNG charged with something and be placed on trial with Troi defending them, Riker or Worf prosecuting them, and Picard as the judge.

Did she? My recollection is that she was always credited along with the guest stars, once the opening titles were over and the first act started playing. I could be misremembering, though.
That’s why I said “did wind up with” instead of “did get.”
