  • Gene Roddenberry created the transporter as an alternative way of getting Enterprise crew members onto a planet’s surface, cheap and easy, rather than landing the entire spaceshipship.
  • “Beam me up Scotty” is an often quoted Star Trek line by Captain Kirk, but Kirk never actually said that line at any given instance in any of its episodes.
  • The slanting crawl way that ends up to the warp drive, called nacelles, is called a, Jefferies tube. This is due to the fact that it paid tribute to its art director, Walter M. Jefferies.
  • Gene Roddenberry was quite bothered about the sound effects in Star Trek’s intro. Particularly, he wanted to remove the “swish” effect of the passing ship since we all know there is no sound in space. But the majority of the pre-airing audience said they liked the effect. It conveyed great speed. The scientific inaccuracy, according to them wasn’t that much of a fuss. So the “swish” sound was still used.
  • TPau, a pop band from the 80s, got their name from a character in Star Trek. As you can remember, TPau was head of the planet Vulcan.
