Overrated movie. I’ll take real science and progress any day over imaginary nonsense that’ll never happen.

A world with only “real” science and progress but without any entertainment would be quite boring.

And fiction has been key to inspiring the next generation of scientists/engineers. So many NASA people have claimed to be inspired by Star Trek just to pick one.

Hey, but I managed to write software to calibrate µCT-scanners! That is clearly way more inspiring than all this fictional stuff. Right! Right. Right?

TOS ran 1966-june3rd1969, Russia first landed unmanned in 1959, and the human race through NASA and the Apollo program first landed on the moon on june 20th 1969

Isaac Asimov was a biochemist born in 1920, started writing published sci-fi in 1939 and full on scifi novels in 1950 (seriously, this stuff was wayyyyy ahead of its time). Died in 1992.

Gene Roddenberry was born in 1921, died in 1991.

The black hole simulation for interstellar resulted in 3 highly regarded scientific papers.
