I Believe In Humanity. We Are An

Star Trek Speaks To Some Basic Human Needs: That There Is A Tomorrow — It's Not All Going To Be Over With A Big Flash And A Bomb; That The Human Race Is Improving; That We Have Things To Be Proud Of As Humans. No, Ancient Astronauts Did Not Build The Pyramids — Human Beings Built Them, Because They're Clever And They Work Hard. And Star Trek Is About Those Things.

If This Is Your God, He's Not Very Impressive. He Has So Many Psychological Problems; He's So Insecure. He Demands Worship Every Seven Days. He Goes Out And Creates Faulty Humans And Then Blames Them For His Own Mistakes. He's A Pretty Poor Excuse For A Supreme Being.

If 'trek' Is A Hit, We'd Love To Do A Series Of Films - A Regular Event. Look At James Bond's Films. They've Been Around Since The Early Sixties.

Let Me End With An Explanation Of Why I Believe The Move Into Space To Be A Human Imperative. It Seems To Me Obvious In Too Many Ways To Need Listing That We Cannot Much Longer Depend Upon Our Planet's Relatively Fragile Ecosystem To Handle The Realities Of The Human Tomorrow. Unless We Turn Human Growth And Energy Toward The Challenges And Promises Of Space, Our Only Other Choice May Be The Awful Risk, Currently Demonstrable, Of Stumbling Into A Cycle Of Fratricide And Regression Which Could End All Chances Of Our Evolving Further Or Of Even Surviving.

The Human Race Is A Remarkable Creature, One With Great Potential, And I Hope That 'star Trek' Has Helped To Show Us What We Can Be If We Believe In Ourselves And Our Abilities.
