    I wonder how many people have become astronauts, scientists or engineers because of Star Trek.

    And then they say that art isn’t important.

      Nichelle Nichols spent decades working with NASA to promote diversity in STEM after playing Uhura, I would bet more people working there are Trekkies than not

      The people who say art isn’t important are the same people who could not draw a circle to save their lives. They don’t like culture because they have none.
