Synopsis: William Shatner hosts this look at how STAR TREK's influence extends beyond entertainment into reality. Based on Shatner's book I'M WORKING ON THAT: A TREK FROM SCIENCE FICTION TO SCIENCE FACT, this Emmy®-nominated program examines how the show inspired real-life scientists. From the space shuttle named "Enterprise" to cell-phone design, STAR TREK's technology permeates contemporary life. The show also points to the future, with an investigation into the possibility of matter-energy transport. As Mr. Spock would say, "Fascinating."
