"Explorers" - Star Trek 50th Anniversary Tribute

[@winstonf.3769]

As a boy, Star Wars gave me a moral compass. As a man, Star Trek gives me the hope and inspiration to use it. Nothing but infinite diversity, connection, and love for who we may become as a species.

[@KH4444444444N]

Precisely.

[@MysticHeather]

Same ❤

[@RedneckRapture]

Star Trek: The idea of exploration. Star Wars: The idea of good vs evil. Battlestar Galactica: The idea of perseverance and defending all you hold dear. Babylon 5: The idea that we can rise from the ashes to make something better. Stargate: The idea that we have a bright future if we learn from the past.

[@queer_raktajino6560]

This is so amazing. It's just a short recap of what life should be and an ecouragement to go chase that goal you've always wanted to reach. When Kirk said that it's time for a new crew to take over, I believe Roddenberry said to us: now it's time for you to boldly go, get out there, and make the world the most amazing thing it can be. I'm sure that if everyone would think the way Star Trek does, the world would be a much better place. Star Trek is my life, and this video portrayed exactly why.

[@Thetis96]

I literally have tears in my eyes right now! This is probably the most amazing and beautiful video I've ever seen.

[@WujekFu]

I was 7 years old boy when I saw TNG for the first time. I live in Poland and I never heard about Star Trek before. I remember that day, it was somewhere in 1990 right after 3 pm. I was sitting bored on couch and changing tv channels when accidentally switched to SAT 1. It was a German TV channel and they`ve always running TNG from Mondays to Fridays on 3 pm. I remember that it was a moment when Enterprise flew through the screen and Sir Partick was speaking his monologue. I was shocked. My mind was blown away how beautiful and majestic that ship was. You could sense how big, powerful and technologically advanced it was. Then it engaged into Warp and I heard TNG theme for the first time. Those five seconds made me fell in love in this franchise. Over 30 years later and I still love Star Trek, it has been with me every day of my life. I wanted to be smart as Picard, handsome as Riker, brawe as Worf and have a beatuful girlfriend like Deanna. TNG shaped my life. Back than I didn`t know about TOS and when I saw Kirk and his crew for the first time im TMP I was dissapointed. They looked silly, their technology was old, ships were obsolete and primitive, they couldn`t compete with Enterprise D and TNG crew. With time I started to enjoy other ST shows but TNG will be always a "true" Star Trek for me.

[@lerneinformatik1194]

This video shows nearly every reasons why I love Star Trek - and science. I am looking for new questions too. I think Star Trek is one of the most important reasons why I found myself in working in science.

I have never seen this tribute before today. As a fan of Star Trek for over 30 years I am floored by this video. Getting to visit with all our friends on the Enterprise, DS9 and Voyager just underlines how long ago all this great Star Trek aired and just how far we have to go right now. For some reason our world has been turning backward for several years now - undoing so much of the progress that would give us a glimpse of the utopian future of Star Trek. Thanks for letting us hang out with our dear friends again in this little clip.

This is INCREDIBLE. You made something that highlights everything that makes Star Trek special for me. Thank you. Seriously. So damned good!!
