by combining science with entertainment to teach and encourage
scientific literacy. In the show, the audience takes the role of

"NASA and Star Trek have a long, parallel history together, and
we hope to inspire visiting families with the fun and educational

through Star Trek, and NASA transforms this incredible journey into
reality."
