William Shatner, Captain Kirk of Star Trek, explores the questions: Could a TV show propel us into a real-life final frontier? Could a fictional captain change the way we interact with our world? Join Shatner as he hosts this light-hearted look at how the fictional U.S.S. Enterprise and crew in reality inspired the world of science and today's technologies. From communicator-style flip phones, medical imaging, virtual reality, space-craft propulsion, and more, explore how much of the Star Trek science fiction now permeates our everyday life and influences advanced sciences.
