What did Star Trek say? How to evaluate?

It may be that they have not experienced the era of great navigation, and it may be difficult for Asian cultures to really appreciate the excitement and fun of exploring the unknown universe in Star Trek. Perhaps people regard space exploration as a by-product of the Cold War to a great extent. With the fall of the Iron Curtain, not only a great country, several ambitious space programs, but also popular culture's yearning for space.

I don't know when it started, but the bookshelves in the science fiction section of bookstores began to be covered with wizards, elves and Warcraft. The Star Wars series even ranked in the nostalgic area; Crazy computer networks, rampant viruses and microorganisms have become the protagonists of hard science fiction. When did it start? Did it collapse with the canopy of the Russian space shuttle Blizzard hangar? Does it accompany NASA from a dreamy institution to a pawn of the military, and to the point where it can only get funds from Congress by rendering the Sino-Russian military threat?

Humans seem to feel unexpected satisfaction in the cradle. No, maybe not, because behind The Matrix and G virus, we see human anxiety and madness.

Just now, I stayed under the huge screen of IMAX for two hours, which made me rediscover this lost excitement and made me realize that the starry sky is not a black cloth dotted with white dots, but an endless space and possibility, an eternal time and mystery.

Silent space warfare, technical details of warp drive, and launcher must be used with Heisenberg compensator to be stable. Star Trek, saved by a group of Klingon linguists, is such a work that strives for the correctness of fantasy science. It has influenced many people, not to mention that most NASA astronauts claimed that they chose to explore the starry sky because of st, and even the designers of Motorola, the initiator of flip phones, admitted that their first flip phone was actually inspired by tricoder in ST, the changes of hard science fiction themes in the past two decades, the decline of science fiction themes themselves and the rise of magic/fantasy themes. On the one hand, the focus of scientific frontier has shifted from space exploration to biology and IT; On the other hand, it can be seen that with the end of the cold war confrontation, people do not need to form a national form with each other and use collective strength to protect themselves. So there are hundreds of people on a starship, and only a few people on the bridge really have a plot. Such an authoritative organizational structure is not as attractive as the magic hero who turned Gan Kun around by one person. With the rise of individualism and free economy, the protagonists on the bridge who are knowledgeable and close to scientists and philosophers are no longer given extra respect. Most of them become supporting roles in heroic stories or get lunch after giving them some powerful weapons. What's more, scientists are portrayed as weaving human self-destruction like Terminator or Resident Evil, and of course they are more like the scientists in The Big Bang Theory, and they are a cute laughing stock.

In the cold war era, people in both the East and the West, fear of war is the theme of life, which also makes life easier. Besides fear, people still have time and seem willing to imagine a completely equal earth, which has eliminated war, poverty and disease. Sulu, the Asian helmsman on the bridge of Enterprise, Chekhov, the Russian weapons officer, Uhura, the African-American female correspondent, and Spock, were all beautiful utopias of people in that depression era.

Modern people live in a relatively better world, and most people can actually control their own destiny almost completely. However, in the face of endless possibilities and more challenges in life, what I fantasize about is anxiety about doomsday zombies and killing networks, or fantasy and crossing complete nothingness. It seems that every era is the best and the worst. Oh, yes, Mr Dickens, you are always right.

While lamenting the lost great dreams of mankind, we also noticed the abandoned ideals on our personal growth path. The price behind our mental maturity seems to be far greater than our imagination.
