What Can We Learn From Star Trek, 50 Years Later?
"Fifty years ago today, Star Trek launched its first “five year mission” on televisions across the country. The Starship Enterprise’s goal, “to explore new worlds… to boldly go where no man has gone before” gave viewers the opportunity to explore new realms; space, time, and the far reaches of human condition.

According to author and nerd-culture critic Ethan Gilsdorf, that message is needed more than ever in 2016."
