Space. The Final Frontier. These are the voyages of the Starship Enterprise. Its continuing mission: to seek out new life and new civilizations, and to boldly go where no man has gone before.
Star Trek has been a part of my life since it first aired in the late sixties. As a Trekker, I have memorized that voice-over by Bill Shatner. I have read most of the books detailing in print the adventures serialized on television. I have seen the 11 movies. I have the DVDs of most of the follow-up series: The New Generation, Deep Space Nine, Voyager and Enterprise.
And as envisioned by its creator, Gene Roddenberry, hopefully there will come a time when man will learn how to travel faster than light, and we will reach for the stars. Humankind's physical presence, and ultimately, our version of humanity and morality will either envelop or drown in the universe. Such is life, such is existence. For now, we push the borders of time and space, and in the process, we find that we learn more about ourselves.
