Star Trek’s Futuristic Innovations | StarTalk

there’s nothing like dangling something
that hasn’t been invented yet in the
face of an engineer because you know
they can’t stand it they got to make
that they’ve got to turn it into a
reality and shows like Star Trek and
other science-fiction portrayals of the
day even to this day serve I see as a
kind of stimulation a force of
creativity for people who want to invent
it tomorrow back in the 60s when Star
Trek premiered that was an era where we
were all thinking about the city of
tomorrow the home of tomorrow
transportation of tomorrow tomorrow was
a daily reflection that we all carried
with us I distinctly remember okay warp
drive sure we’ll have that in the future
little disks that have information on it
put it in a box and it speaks to you
sure we’ll do that but doors that open
just by walking towards them how is it
now you’re perching that’ll never happen
ever so don’t ever listen to me predict
the future I’ll take myself out of the
running for that reason in terms of the
Starship Enterprise for me what’s
special about that ship I’ve seen many
science fiction movies I haven’t seen
them all
I’ve seen many up until that point all
ships that were envisioned were built
and occupied
to go to a destination Starship
Enterprise had no destination
it just was out there visiting multiple
places that may have been a first to
transform your idea of space is a is a
way for me to get from A to B to space
is a limitless frontier to explore
