I’m not too sure of that year, but what I’m getting at is, what happens when the years of the Star Trek universe roll around and there are still Trekkies out there? They’ve (okay, We)gotten been around for 30+ years already.
What will the world be like then, anyway, assuming we’re still here?
I guess there will be some sorely dissapointed individuals.
I bet they won’t be able to spell either
As long as the Star Trek fans don’t panic and force those horrible uniforms and hair styles on the world . . .
Wow - more than 2 centuries without a date. Scary.
Well, 2001 is right around the corner and I ain’t found no monolith yet. :rolleyes:
I wanna go to the moon.
Who knows what icons of pop culture will be remembered 200 years from now? We remember a comparitive handfull of authors, playwrites and composers from 200 years ago, while countless hacks have faded into anonymity. I suspect that Star Trek might be remembered as a 20th century “vision of the future” but will cease to be topical, both in it’s technology and the social ethos it’s based upon.
They laugh their asses off at how wrong Star Trek was at predicting the future. Read some 1920’s sci fi and you will get the picture. Meanwhile, Star Trek, 20 generations later is in its final season of holodeck 3d TV.
A Star Destroyer would STILL be able to kick the Enterprise’s ass.
Mass suicides.

It wouldn’t bother us any more than the fact that Khan Noonien Singh didn’t take over the world in the 1990s.
Well, we managed to avoid, more or less 1984. Though I was kind of hoping for the class of 1999, to be honest.

The human race will have vanished, due to everyone spending their entire lives in the holodeck.
Beam me up scotty, ther’s no intelligent life down here.
