. This show, and my father who introduced me to it, built the foundation for my sense of social justice as an astrophysicist of color.One experience that I hope never fades from my memory is the day I found myself on the bridge of the Starship Enterprise.At the turn of the century, Las Vegas had an attraction called the Star Trek Experience that sadly didn't make enough money to survive.
