I have been a Star Trek fan all my life. This series taught us how to explore strange new worlds and to seek out new life and new civilizations. Gene Roddenberry gave us this gift that has changed the hearts and minds of many. This TV show gave birth to movies and TV prequels and sequels that have inspired and entertained millions.

Trek taught us infinite diversity in infinite combinations and to live long and prosper. I am thankful that I had heroes like Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, Uhura, Sulu, and Chekov to show me the way of being a nerd and that logic matters. This show has also given us Picard, Burnham, Janeway, Archer, Sisko, Freeman, Ake, and Pike. Thank you to everyone who has put on the uniform of Starfleet.

Tonight to celebrate, we are watching The Undiscovered Country which is the last movie with the original cast.

Star Trek Day is about celebrating a visionary science fiction TV show on September 8, which had the broadcast premiere of the series on that day in 1966. The day is celebrated by fans across the world to acknowledge the cultural impact of the Star Trek franchise.

Since the original series there have been spinoff series such as The Next Generation, Discovery and Strange New Worlds that continue the story that creator Gene Roddenberry brought to life fifty-nine years ago.

As a fan of the series, I have been impacted by its morality, social justice, and dedication to inclusion. Without Star Trek, the world would be different. It’s ultimate statement of creating a world in which all can take part is the Vulcan concept of infinite diversity in infinite combinations. We need that now more than ever these days. Thank you, Star Trek, for showing us a better way forward. May we Boldly Go as we Live Long And Prosper as we head into Star Trek’s 60th anniversary in 2026.

Star Trek is the story of the future we must find our way towards. I think God would want that too.
