Sixty years ago today, the starship Enterprise launched and with it, a vision of the future where humanity had moved beyond its divisions. I was there at the beginning, and I can tell you: we never imagined how far that dream would travel, into homes, into hearts, into the way generations imagined what we could still become. In a world that often feels as divided as ever, maybe that's exactly why we need it now: a reminder that unity was always the point.
@georgetakei
Thanks you for all your Dreams ;DHave a nice Day ;D

Just curious - is that a freemason signal he is making with his hand? -

Happy 60th anniversary to the brilliant universe of Star Trek, and all who made it possible. Live long and prosper.
@georgetakei Been along for the whole ride, starting as a teenager in 1966. The reruns got me through the 70s when much of TV was, IMO, just crud. Still watching the original series and the original movies, not so much the derivatives.

@georgetakei By the way: On German TV the vulcan greeting was translated to »Lebe lang und in Frieden« - what re-translated would be »Live a long and peaceful life«.

@georgetakei Thank you, Mr. Takei! You and the crew have been a positive influence and a happy place for me in dark times. Live long and prosper!

@georgetakei In the 60s, when we were kids, we used my mom's empty blush compacts for communicators. I was always Chekov, Russian accent and all!!
@Ponygirl @georgetakei
When I was a little kid, I once took a bottle of candy sprinkles, the kind you decorate baked goods with, and these looked like little green crystals. So I hand-made a new label for it and taped it on. It said "Green dilithium* crystals Max warp factor 8".
* This of course was badly misspelled, I forget how exactly. I tried asking my mom how to spell it, but she had no idea.

@aoeBerlin @georgetakei
Reminds me of the time I tried translating the song Silent Night into Klingon. That was hard, for cultural differences. When translated back to english, it had parts like "the child is timid and weak", and "round up the virgins, mothers and children."

@georgetakei I remember watching the first episode with my father and hiding in terror behind his chair when Nancy revealed her true salt monster face. Poor Bones!

I note in passing that the photo on the left has every main character except Captain Kirk.
Coincidence? -
