– Gene Rodenberry (19 August 1921 – 24 October 1991)
The opening lines of the most famous science fiction show ever made.
Star Trek showcased many technologies that are now common place.
It started at least one astronaut on her career. Lets all praise Nichelle Nicols.
The show presented a future that normalised mixed gender and mixed race (including aliens) crews and society. It presented a future where:
The acquisition of wealth is no longer the driving force in our lives. We work to better ourselves and the rest of humanity
― Capt. Jean-Luc Picard, ‘Star Trek: First Contact’
Make it so!
PS: I love coffee. BuyMeACoffee, leave a message with a date and time and we can share it, remotely, at the same time, and think about the Cosmos.
In the meantime, take care of yourself and if you can, someone else, too, because as Adam Smith said, “we naturally desire not only to be loved but to be lovely”.
