“Beam down” es una expresión que se utiliza a menudo en la ciencia ficción para describir el proceso de transportar a alguien o algo desde una nave espacial hasta la superficie de un planeta u otro lugar. La idea es que la nave emite un rayo o haz de luz que envuelve al objeto o persona que se desea transportar y los lleva hasta su destino. Este proceso se conoce como “teletransporte” o “transporte por haz”.
Ejemplos de su uso:
- “The crew of the Enterprise prepared to beam down to the planet’s surface to investigate the strange energy readings.”
- “Captain Kirk ordered the ship’s transporter chief to beam down a landing party to the planet’s surface.”
- “The alien spaceship had the ability to beam down their soldiers directly into the enemy’s stronghold, allowing them to surprise the defenders.”

- “due to the hostile environment, they decided to beam down the supplies directly to the lab and not risk any member of the crew”
- “The ship’s transporter malfunctioned and the away team got stuck in the beam down process, resulting in an emergency beam back”
Ten en cuenta que su uso se limita a la ciencia ficción más que en la vida real.
