Cut and pasted shamelessly from StarTrek.com:

"CBS Television Studios announced today it will launch a totally new Star Trek television series in January 2017."

"The brand-new Star Trek will introduce new characters seeking imaginative new worlds and new civilizations, while exploring the dramatic contemporary themes that have been a signature of the franchise since its inception in 1966."

"The new television series is not related to the upcoming feature film Star Trek Beyond which is scheduled to be distributed by Paramount Pictures in summer 2016."

  Actually the US has slightly more [than] 5% of the world's population.

  According to Wikipedia:

  • World population is estimated at 7.3×10⁹ people[1]
  • US population is estimated at 3.2×10⁸ people[2]

  Which means the US has an estimated 4.4% of the world's population, slightly less than 5%.

  Unfortunately a lot of older people still think the Earth has 6 billion inhabitants.
