I hope that if this is read that it will give you
a slight insight into some of the situations encountered by the crew of the Enterprise and what happened during their five year mission.
Of course if you want more detail you will have to consult Starfleet records which come on DVD discs and see for yourselves.
Is there more to come well who knows, space is of course infinite and there are always possibilities.
Star Trekking is the hope of mankind,
We have Kirk's Bravery and his Honour to always try to do the right thing,
We have Spock's Logic and Reason to help the Captain in his mission,
We have Scotty and his love of the ship,
We have Uhura who tries to always get the message home,
We have Bones to say his dead Jim?
We have Chekov to remind everybody the USA and Russia can be friends one sunny day,
We have Sulu to show past human wars can be forgotten and new friendships made after darkened days, so Hikaru can be that light,
So Star Trekking is the hope of mankind,
So Star Trekking is the hope of mankind,
So Star Trekking is the hope of mankind.

Kirk was a flirt.
Bones could clone.
Scotty liked scotch.
Chekov goofed off.
Sulu, he flew.
Uhura went further.
Chapel would coddle.
But
SPOCK,
He
ROCKED.
Thanks for the memories.
Uhura and Kirk shared the first inter-racial kiss ever on TV.
Scotty was from my home town. Met him long after the show went off the air.

Beyond the galaxies
Journeys into the unknown
Ms. Nichelle Nichols, best known for her role on Star Trek
Characterized as Lieutenant Uhura, Communications Officer
Ms. Nichols has gone where many have gone before her
It was Higher than the Star Trek Frontier
It is her Soul maneuvering in spirit of preserver
She is among the many Souls
Ms. Nichols leaves her name in remembrance of behold
Space being her threshold
The name Starship Enterprise
Ms. Nichols wants her fans to rise and continue to live
She would say “I finished my work on Earth”
I have a enriched new birth
I have another role to play
It’s Heaven’s way
Watching Earth on high and rejoicing with Thy
Don’t cry for me
I have been lifted up you see
Only applaud my achievements
Remember how I opened closed doors of Race
I have a new Frontier
I encourage my fans to continue to preserver
My mission has transitioned
The Clouds have written my name
Space welcomed Ms. Nichols to explore
Her talent is nothing to ignore
Ms. Nichols proved to Hollywood she had her own act to follow
Achieving was her inspiration in believing
She told the Lord “I am Ready”
Beam Me Up
Ms. Nichols boarded the Heaven Enterprise
She’s now among the stars
Beyond Earth’s presence and vision
Her spirit strives
NASA Mission Control, Ms. Nichols mission complete
We will always hold Star Trek close
Never far, but always in our hearts near
STAR TREK being a fact
Beamed Up
Everlasting to Ms. Nichelle Nichols
Well done
I am pleased
Now sleep and rest at ease
Gone where Heaven wants us all to be
Captain Kirk, Star Trek was in good hands
My tomorrow came
My today of remember
Lieutenant Uhura out.

Uhura, what country?
Did she come from?
Well, most likely America.

But you must ponder about Star Trek that all the regions they went.
They never encounter anyone of African heritage.
Then or not.

After all, it mirrors the Twilight Zone, in terms of dealing with past or present facts or fictional events.

What race could protest?
We have a past to visit like some shows took upon.
And dealing with the future, who knows what to come?
