Scientists working with NASA are also looking into warp drive technology, and recently a crowdfunding campaign to create the Scanadu Scout - a medical device like the tricorders used on the show - raised more than $1.5 million on. “We are working on geosynchronous architecture in computers that will enable us to maximize the computing power and give us the opportunity to, in real time, do more and complicated computations that would be required for something like a holodeck.” On Star Trek: The Next Generation, the holodeck was a reality simulator that could replicate various environments. “I was at a conference earlier this year in San Francisco,” Burton said. While ‘Star Trek’ influenced people around the world, the show’s unique brand of science fiction has also greatly influenced some real science being conducted today. “I looked at it, and I went screaming through the house, ‘Come here, Mum, everybody, come quick, come quick, there’s a black lady on television, and she ain’t no maid!’ I knew right then and there I could be anything I wanted to be.” “Well, when I was 9 years old, Star Trek came on,” Goldberg has said, as quoted by.

Burton started off as a fan of the venerable TV show, he said last week at the third annual 100 Year Starship symposium, a conference looking at ways to inspire people around the world to get involved in sending humanity to the stars. Gene Roddenberry’s Star Trek, which preceded The Next Generation, gave Burton a glimpse into a hopeful future as a child growing up during the civil rights movement in the United States.
