What began as a simple childlike fascination with space and aviation when I watched my first episode of Star Trek as a young girl, has followed me through the years, subtly influencing my choices throughout my studies. To me, the engineers in that series were the true heroes; no matter what happened, they were always able to draw out a “little more power” or come up with the creative work-around (albeit at the last second) that allowed the crew to collectively maneuver themselves out of whatever…

(Synopsis) In the trial, Picard argues in favor of…

explore. I believe that space is the final frontier. Three main points that help with this are Galaxies what they are their shapes and what lies within them. Lifeforms off of earth what’s out there and are they friendly. Stars and planets what fate lies for our sun and other stars and the fate of planets in orbit around them. Galaxies what we know about them is there are many in every shape and size. The Milky Way is the Galaxy our Solar system is in along with others galaxies all holding solar…

Soon demonstrating that it was more than a mere “wagon train to the stars” as Roddenbery originally claimed, the series invariably raised the question: “What makes us human?” Since its profound beginnings the Star…
