1 00:00:08,380 --> 00:00:04,300 multiracial multi-ethnic and 2 00:00:12,410 --> 00:00:11,060 the creators will start track knew that 3 00:00:14,150 --> 00:00:12,420 if humans are too someday explore the 4 00:00:16,070 --> 00:00:14,160 universe who we need to put aside our 5 00:00:18,230 --> 00:00:16,080 differences because to boldly go on 6 00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:18,240 behalf of all humankind would truly 7 00:00:37,530 --> 00:00:34,380 Star Trek showed us what an inclusive 8 00:00:38,750 --> 00:00:37,540 diverse future could look like just look 9 00:00:41,220 --> 00:00:38,760 at the bridge of the enterprise 10 00:00:44,820 --> 00:00:41,230 different races and species working 11 00:00:47,850 --> 00:00:44,830 together in peace for a common cause we 12 00:00:50,130 --> 00:00:47,860 had lieutenant Uhura we had Sulu we had 13 00:00:53,030 --> 00:00:50,140 a check off we have Vulcan we had 14 00:00:55,619 --> 00:00:53,040 everyone cooperating for one goal 15 00:00:58,770 --> 00:00:55,629 Starship Enterprise was a metaphor of a 16 00:01:02,970 --> 00:00:58,780 starship earth and a strength of the 17 00:01:05,070 --> 00:01:02,980 starship lay in its diversity coming 18 00:01:08,100 --> 00:01:05,080 together and working as a team 19 00:01:09,870 --> 00:01:08,110 Star Trek was a refuge it was a place 20 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:09,880 where you want to believe in that we 21 00:01:14,670 --> 00:01:11,770 want to believe would would someday 22 00:01:16,440 --> 00:01:14,680 happen that was how we could be and now 23 00:01:18,840 --> 00:01:16,450 we're actually living that on the 24 00:01:20,490 --> 00:01:18,850 international space station the 25 00:01:23,249 --> 00:01:20,500 international space station is this 26 00:01:25,650 --> 00:01:23,259 incredible laboratory in space it is a 27 00:01:28,170 --> 00:01:25,660 place that allows scientists from all 28 00:01:30,540 --> 00:01:28,180 over the world to do scientific research 29 00:01:32,100 --> 00:01:30,550 that can lead to these amazing and 30 00:01:34,109 --> 00:01:32,110 surprising discoveries that couldn't 31 00:01:36,590 --> 00:01:34,119 have been made anywhere else more than 32 00:01:39,060 --> 00:01:36,600 anything else is an exercise in 33 00:01:43,140 --> 00:01:39,070 international cooperation there are 34 00:01:46,080 --> 00:01:43,150 Russians Japanese Americans Europeans 35 00:01:47,700 --> 00:01:46,090 and Canadian astronauts and over 96 36 00:01:49,649 --> 00:01:47,710 countries have participated in some 37 00:01:51,539 --> 00:01:49,659 aspect of the space station our cultures 38 00:01:53,730 --> 00:01:51,549 are so different at the same time we are 39 00:01:56,490 --> 00:01:53,740 so similar because our desire of our 40 00:01:58,590 --> 00:01:56,500 pulses is all the same so it's kind of a 41 00:02:01,050 --> 00:01:58,600 weird place where politics doesn't 42 00:02:04,340 --> 00:02:01,060 visibly play a role there's a peaceful 43 00:02:07,230 --> 00:02:04,350 use of space the big benefit of 44 00:02:09,210 --> 00:02:07,240 collaborating together is of course that 45 00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:09,220 we're advancing our science together as 46 00:02:13,590 --> 00:02:11,530 a whole and that people around the world 47 00:02:13,890 --> 00:02:13,600 not just in one country get the benefits 48 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:13,900 of 49 00:02:21,690 --> 00:02:17,290 research results seeing our differences 50 00:02:23,789 --> 00:02:21,700 as an asset that's our strength together 51 00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:23,799 we can accomplish things we never 52 00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:24,730 thought we could 53 00:02:28,979 --> 00:02:27,010 Star Trek at the time it was about 54 00:02:30,599 --> 00:02:28,989 possibilities and the things that we 55 00:02:33,240 --> 00:02:30,609 could become and we could do in the 56 00:02:35,910 --> 00:02:33,250 future and that was a very inspiring 57 00:02:38,460 --> 00:02:35,920 message you know that all races and 58 00:02:40,140 --> 00:02:38,470 religions and National Origins we could 59 00:02:43,229 --> 00:02:40,150 we could all work together the show 60 00:02:46,140 --> 00:02:43,239 really served as an inspiration not just 61 00:02:48,869 --> 00:02:46,150 for one nation but for the next 62 00:02:52,170 --> 00:02:48,879 generation of scientists engineers and 63 00:02:53,879 --> 00:02:52,180 explorers people always ask me yeah you 64 00:02:55,770 --> 00:02:53,889 know as a black female did you ever 65 00:02:57,149 --> 00:02:55,780 think you could be a part of this and it 66 00:03:00,210 --> 00:02:57,159 never dawned on me that I couldn't 67 00:03:02,250 --> 00:03:00,220 because I saw these models of no like 68 00:03:03,929 --> 00:03:02,260 Star Trek we were talking about a future 69 00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:03,939 where people could get along I think 70 00:03:10,229 --> 00:03:06,730 that was that was ultimately our our 71 00:03:12,390 --> 00:03:10,239 greatest gift to the culture leave any 72 00:03:14,879 --> 00:03:12,400 bigotry in your quarters there's no room 73 00:03:20,510 --> 00:03:14,889 for it on the bridge do I make myself 74 00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:23,000 well if we want to go further beyond 75 00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:25,170 what we have achieved now we are going 76 00:03:30,050 --> 00:03:28,170 to need a global effort we can use that 77 00:03:32,270 --> 00:03:30,060 partnership to leverage the way that 78 00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:32,280 humankind will explore beyond Earth 79 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:35,010 orbit to the moon to Mars beyond Mars 80 00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:37,770 out into the world of what we think now 81 00:03:40,370 --> 00:03:39,690 is science fiction and who knows from 82 00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:40,380 there only 83 00:03:45,140 --> 00:03:43,050 imagination is going to be the limit the 84 00:03:47,980 --> 00:03:45,150 human animal is an adventurous animal 85 00:03:51,790 --> 00:03:47,990 and the cheer there are risks involved 86 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:51,800 but we boldly take those risks and 87 00:03:57,860 --> 00:03:54,810 hunger for that information that 88 00:04:02,060 --> 00:03:57,870 knowledge that lies out there that's the 89 00:04:04,470 --> 00:04:02,070 great human adventure we are curious 90 00:04:06,449 --> 00:04:04,480 creatures 91 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:06,459 who knows how far into the universe will 92 00:04:11,009 --> 00:04:08,650 eventually travel or what strange new 93 00:04:12,930 --> 00:04:11,019 worlds humanity will someday explore but 94 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:12,940 you can be sure that when we do it'll be
