In the decades since, Star Trek has inspired generations of scientists and engineers to help make that future real. “Those Who Look Up” explores the enduring relationship between science and science fiction. In this interview series, JPL and Caltech subject matter experts sit down with Star Trek actors to share their perspectives on exploration, discovery, and how the work they do has influenced another person, another industry, and the world at large. #startrek #jpl #roddenberry
