“What made the show lasting was it wasn’t actually about technology, it was about values and human relationships… it was really talking about a notion of a common humanity, a confidence in our ability to solve problems.” Barack Obama On Star Trek
Star Trek attracts many people who become loyal fans aka Trekkers or Trekkies. And sometimes those fans are quite famous and even incredibly powerful. Several American Presidents dearly loved watching Star Trek.
Among these Trekker US Presidents: Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan and Barack Obama.
