Canada

Taken from reference 1: Star Trek is one of the most influential science fiction franchises in history. The cast of original series included Canadians like William "Bill" Shatner (James Tiberius Kirk) and the late James Montgomery "Jimmy" Doohan (Montgomery "Scotty" Scott). The fan culture that grew around it spanned and continues to span all of Canada. Well known Canadians like Justin Pierre James Trudeau and the late John Gilbert "Jack" Layton are/ were fans. Back in the 1960s, interest was sufficiently high in Quebec to bring about the translation of the original series, around 1969 - with local actors. The Trekcetera Museum in Vulcan, Alberta, opened in 2013.

Function

Box for Christmas tree ornament.

Technical

Taken from reference 1: Again, Star Trek is one of the most influential science fiction franchises in history. The fan culture that grew around it spanned and continues to span much of the globe. American fans were as diverse as Francis Albert “Frank” Sinatra and Martin Luther King Jr. If truth be told, the Star Trek franchise played a crucial role in the professional and life choices of many individuals. In 2005, Discovery Channel Canada presented a two-hour documentary entitled “How William Shatner Changed the World” that contained several examples of this. The first African-American astronaut was a fan, as was the chief propulsion engineer at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory and the senior astronomer and director of the Center for SETI (Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence) Research. One of the key people behind the invention of the cell phone was a Star Trek fan, as was the person behind one of the first home computers. Indeed, it was in part as a result of fan pressure that the first Space Shuttle was called Enterprise.
