Boldly Searching...

Preparing to research our (hopefully) upcoming Star Trek project tonight, I decided to fire up the digital video recorder and look through the upcoming airings of Star Trek episodes, figuring there might be some potential sources of information, or at least inspiration, that we should record and watch. As I was going through the on-screen program guide's function, this screen appeared, and I fortunately had the camera handy. From there I think it pretty well explains itself...

By the way, on a related note, according to an item appearing in the February 11-17th issue of New Scientist, the praise "to boldly go where no man has gone before," is almost definitely derived from the text of a widely distributed 1958 White House pamphlet called "Introduction to Outer Space." The pamphlet version is, "to try to go where no one has gone before." "Boldly" is a nice improvement, but somehow the more sexist "no man" got introduced with it, and it wasn't changed back until Star Trek the Next Generation made the air. The link included in the article isn't working for me, but you can find the relevant original text of the document here.
