-: Hey everybody.
Happy Star Trek Day.
My name's John Hodgman.
I am here on planet Earth.
You can see it reflected in my glasses.
Yes, that is traditional green terrestrial vegetation.
I just wanted to say that I just finished bingeing
the first season of "Strange New Worlds"
and it reminds me why I love "Star Trek,"
because in all of its iterations
"Star Trek" is about a self-selected diverse family
of competent professionals doing meaningful work
that they love and being kind and respectful to each other
all the time, unless they're under the power
of a space brain or they're in the beard universe
or whatever.
But most of the time it exemplifies
a working group of people who get along,
which we need more of.
I hope it's not too distant in our future.
I don't want to wait hundreds of years
and with its inspiration, I don't think we'll have to.
So have a great day
and wherever planet you're on, live long and prosper.
