Star Trek TNG got a lot of my attention in my younger years. Back then I thought the prime directive kind of ideals, do not interfere or harm, seemed unrealistic and like something that we wouldn't be capable of if we found something that somebody important wanted. Teleportation seemed like maybe plausible, but quite possibly a bit of a reach. I guess because the Guinness Book of World Records was very popular at the time and we were always hearing about a new fastest car, plane, or something, I really thought we would be cruising around the cosmos at warp speed whatever pretty soon. Maybe lunch at a different planet every other weekend or something reasonable like that. I will probably always be a little sad that it's not going to happen in my lifetime or likely ever.
