Noninterference in other cultures is the most sacred principle of all. Money is generally outdated, as are hunger and poverty.

Since its 1966 premiere with one of the most diverse casts TV had ever seen, Trek has grown into an intricate transmedia universe full of subtleties and traditions and rules.Īmong them: Human beings avoid killing each other. Is all that and Star Trek a good fit? Members of the original Star Trek television series team: from left, Leonard Nimoy, director Robert Wise, producer Gene Roddenberry, Deforest Kelley and William Shatner It will be a complex blend of human dreams superimposed upon technology and hope, braggadocio and cash, and the notion that space travel elevates us - all orchestrated by a company under serious criticism for what some call the decidedly un-utopian, tech-bro ways that it operates. An equally valid question is this: What will we see when he’s out there? “What will I see when I’m out there?” Shatner wondered last week, talking to Anderson Cooper on CNN. But it is also about popular culture and marketing and entertainment and nostalgia and hope and Manifest Destiny and, and, and, well, you get the idea. It is about space and exploration, sure, and certainly about capitalism and billionaires and questions of economic equity. When Shatner boards Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin NS-18 in Texas around dawn Wednesday, his one small step into the craft creates one of the ultimate crossover stories of our era. And in doing so, William Shatner is causing worlds to collide, or at least permitting parallel universes to coexist - the utopian spacefaring vision of Star Trek and the evolving, increasingly commercial spot that “space” holds in the American psyche. More than a half-century later, the performer who breathed life into the fabled Enterprise captain is, at age 90, making that kind of risk his own business and heading towards the stars under dramatically different circumstances than his fictional counterpart. “Risk is our business,” James T Kirk once said.
