Very cool exhibit. But his referring to that exhibit as modern day science fact? I don't think so. We have been sorely lacking in our space development program for quite some time and have only very recently starting turning that around, and gender and diversity are not talking points for the modern day space program. We're looking for development of technologies, not who is making those technologies. People didn't watch Star Trek for its diversity, they watched it because it was a great show and a great sci-fi platform to enjoy while getting to dream ahead about what tech and exploration the future would bring.

Hmmm,the Star Trek in the movies doesn't have Spanish translations on its console.
