The historical background of star trek
In the 23rd century, Earth is in a period of relative peace following the Klingon–Federation War. The Federation is an interstellar trading bloc of planets led by Earth. The Federation’s stable political situation has permitted rapid advances in technology that have revolutionized spaceflight and led to the creation of warp drive. The Vulcans, the Federation’s scientific mentors, give them warp drive technology in the form of a propulsion system based on controlled nuclear fusion.
who can watch this show
Everyone, though young children and the elderly might not understand an adult-oriented science fiction adventure that is not really for kids, but has a great amount of action and adventure, with a lot of humor, a bit of romance, and some special effects. Star Trek is best watched by those that are mature enough to understand the show’s complexity, and have a good understanding of human nature as well as science fiction.
