But Star Trek has inspired more people to pursue the kinds of things that push the human race forward.David Landonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12909440700102911571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2228174552203445896.post-2714456756004378522013-10-28T18:08:22.698-04:002013-10-28T18:08:22.698-04:00Excellent read!

My husband and I have been "discussing"- and I use that term loosely- the Star Wars/Star Trek thing for years, and I always do acquiesce in the toy department. It still seems like such huge untapped potential, and I always wished I could find more in the way of toys. I went to several conventions back in the 80s & 90s, in hopes of finding good stuff- but I was usually left wanting more. Thanks for the info on that Cheerios promo- I had never seen that before!KJ @ PlustheMagichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00628831874091471153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2228174552203445896.post-29154727219299059032013-10-28T17:04:28.154-04:002013-10-28T17:04:28.154-04:00David Landon wrote:

Star Wars inspires better toys that people in my age group have fond childhood memories of. But Star Trek has inspired people to become scientists, engineers, and doctors."<br /><br />I recently had a conversation with someone in the visual effects industry on the two franchises. He said he didn't know many Trekkies in the industry. He said that it was STAR WARS that inspired most of his peers. I thought that was interesting.Horacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03313506775053627746noreply@blogger.com
