Welcome to a whole new universe, Star Trek fans! Our favorite space franchise has reached a colossal milestone in 2022 that no other series within the franchise has accomplished before. Let’s take a plunge into the Star Trek universe and unravel the story that has got everyone buzzing: a thank you letter from NASA to “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds”.

A Surprise From NASA

Anson Mount, popularly known for his MCU character Black Bolt in “Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness”, played Christopher Pike in “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds”. In an interview with the Hollywood Reporter, he disclosed a special token of recognition that the series received.

Nasa sent them a personal thank you letter recognizing how much Star Trek means to scientists and the potent influence it has in stimulating creative imaginations. Both the cast and crew were overjoyed, celebrating the rare honor bestowed upon them.

Mount said, “Some acquaintances from NASA wrote a letter to the cast and crew, which I got to read. Explaining how much Star Trek meant to them and how much it means to scientists, and how powerful the imagination can be in crafting our future.”

Nostalgia Meets Fresh Ventures

“Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” pays tribute to the original 1960s Star Trek series, which made Mount’s experience even more rewarding. He felt immense pride and happiness being a part of such an acclaimed and recognized project.

Patrick Stewart’s Impact

Celebrated actor Patrick Stewart is a crucial figure in Star Trek’s journey. Remember “Star Trek: First Contact”, the 1996 movie? Jonathan Frakes directed it featuring Stewart in a leading role. Stewart faced some hurdles regarding his character’s story arc in the film.

Stewart was known for his outspoken behavior. Once he even brought in his personal writer to rewrite his scenes during “Star Trek: First Contact” filming. Writer Ronald D Moore shared in a THR interview that Stewart insisted on having his writer, causing tension within the team. However, things didn’t go as planned, and the new writer had to be removed, leaving Moore to handle the remainder of the movie script.

Despite such turbulence, “Star Trek: First Contact” received favorable responses, garnering a 7.6/10 rating on IMDb and a praiseworthy 93% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Today, both “Star Trek: First Contact” and “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds” are available on Paramount+ in the U.S., enabling fans to relive the captivating space odysseys anytime.

Star Trek’s universe continues to awe-inspire audiences across the globe, and its feature series, “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds”, winning accolades from NASA is a testimony to its influential impression. With alluring narratives and characters, the franchise is set to conquer audiences’ hearts for many light years to come.
