Space, the final frontier...

...These are the voyages of the starship, Enterprise.

With these words one of the most emblematic and productive science fiction series begins, Star Trek. Five series and ten films make this product something huge to take in consideration. Such emblematic characters as Mr. Spock or captain Kirk came out from this series, successful to such a level that a space shuttle has the name of the main ship of the star fleet, Enterprise.



A revolution in the 60’s. To know the history of Star Trek is to know the goals of science fiction. When it was released, Star Trek appeared as a revolutionary series mainly because of the topics it talked about and it approaches to them. The technology, nowadays, continues being a promise: space travels, teletransport, etc, have not even been developed but where the series surprises is in the human aspects that it represents. Star Trek showed the equality without making differences between race, sex or religion among the human beings. A united world where did not matter to be Russian or American. For a series that was emitted in the “heat” of the Cold War, and inside a society with a clear social inequality against women and black people, the stellar ship USS Enterprise was a dream that travel thru space with a multiracial crew where there were Russian officers, women of confidence and a great sense of cultural diversity.

Nowadays it’s still alive and the emission of Enterprise remarks this, although it is cancelled. This is going to be the last season but it will not past too much until we see a new one, the world of Star Trek is as vast as the universe.
