“I would like to think that we’re not only inspiring future generations of people interested in science and space exploration specifically, but also that we’re inspiring new generations to pursue the ideals and ethics Star Trek embodies. I find that certainly just as important. That vision of the future inspires people to pursue peace and peaceful co-existence, to pursue knowledge over conflict.”
