Star Trek’s opening monologue has become a mantra for space travel. Space, the final frontier, must be explored because we’ve seen everything else. We have a more than 5-year mission to seek out new life and new civilizations. Captain “William Shatner” Kirk read the opening in almost every Star Trek episode followed by Patrick Stewart in the Next Generation. The opening went through several evolutions and only made it onto the show after several episodes were done filming, soon to premiere. The intro has even been placed inside Star Trek continuity as a speech by Zefram Cochrane, the inventor of warp travel. Because of his invention and the brilliances of televisions, geeks were able to, yes I’m this corny, boldly go where no man has gone before.
