Other things: After Khan and the clones disaster, no more genetic engineering. But in TNG, they've genetically engineered a generation of kids with noth only superior intellect and physical qualities, but telepathy and telekinesis. OK, their super immune system would have wiped out the rest of the galaxy, but hey, they'd have more elbow room that way.
