Gene Roddenberry on Star Wars "I like Star Wars. It was young King Arthur growing up, slay-slaying the evil emperor finally. There's nothing wrong with that kind of entertainment - Everything doesn't have to create a philosophy for you - for your whole life. You can also have fun" - Gene Roddenberry footage from the documentary Trek Nation.
"Well they (the fans) were bagging on Wesley. But at that..you know…I was 14, I figure that they were bagging on me. And your dad was like, "You shut up!" "I love Wesley and I made Wesley out of me and it's my show and if you got a problem with it, go watch something else" And I was like, wow! Your dad stood up for me" - Wil Wheaton tells Rod Roddenberry how Gene defended him during a convention. Featured on TrekNation.
Nothing Left to Explore: The Star Trek Theory
This planet is depleted. It is over populated. The resources have been exhausted. The food has all been consumed, and atmosphere is polluted. Humans are in constant conflict with each other for the last resources on Earth. The last natural resource on the planet in abundance is human. Humans are the only species on the planet to imagine new experiences, create tools and technology, and have the capability to heal the sick and diseased. A common goal could unite the population and bring a since of responsibility to our species.
With vehicles that travel faster than the speed of light, we can explore the stars, discover new planets, and tap new resources. Power sources could be enhanced with new elements found on alien planets. Bio-domes could be constructed to support population. Planets can be altered and be used for specific purposes. Other species can be discovered, such as; animal or plant life that can enhance medical technology, or end famine.
-Medical-
Imagine humans using the full potential of medical knowledge. We could use stem cell research to regenerate cells, or use laser technology to fight diseases. We could develop miniature robots to target cancers cells, or the HIV virus, and they could be programmed to eradicate the disease. The most incredible idea is to clone a person, and download his life and memory into a brand new body, conquering death.
-Technology-
With new placed to explore, we can create new technologies. We could add to the periodic chart by discovering new elements. We could create new types of metals that can be stronger and lighter than the ones we have now. These new metals can streamline construction, cut down on cost and time, and also make buildings more durable with less maintenance. We could build bio-domes on planets like Mars and turn a dead planet into a farm planet that used to create additional resources. We could grow giant cows and vegetables to end world hunger. We could populate the planets and decrease over-population on Earth, giving the planet time to replenish itself. The possibilities are unimaginable.
-Alien Plants and Animals-
When everyone thinks of aliens there first instinct is to think of intelligence. When we can explore the stars, we may find a planet similar to ours before the disaster that killed the dinosaurs. On the rings of Saturn there is a moon called Enceladus. This moon is only 310 miles across, but has made its presents known to the universe with its top frozen salt water ocean. Scientist speculates life could exist below this frozen ice water shell. Giant sea creatures could contribute to food sources or other beneficial technology.
-My Starship-
On my starship I would explore the universe with my closest friends. People who I know I could trust in a hostile situation. I would open every crack in the solar system, and peek in every hole of the universe. I would seek out new technology, and I would claim it all for the advancement of the human species. I would uphold the” Prime Directive”, and would follow the teachings of Captain Jean Luc Pickard.
In the opening credits Captain Picard describes exploration, he says, “Space…The final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission, to explore strange new worlds. To seek out new life and new civilizations. To boldly go where no one has gone before” (Picard, 1987- 1994).

Star Trek speaks to some basic human needs, that there is a tomorrow - it's not all going to be over with a big flash and a bomb. This is the human adventure. It's just begun.
