Here's an interesting thought: who will be remembered 1000 years from now?

I'd say Adolf Hitler, for one. But not Donald Trump or Hillary.
Churchill (Adolf's arch enemy)? Maybe by the British, but.....

Elon Musk?
Carrot Top?

Kim Kardashian for frell's sake???

    Oh and Bill Shatner. Trek and also Bond lore are already halfway to surviving for a century. Much longer than that and they'll surely become legends.

    JJ Abrams is bigger than Shakespeare. In a thousand years the post-scarcity Federation will exist in real life and the Jedi will be its state religion for real.

      I don't really count JJverse as real Trek. I gave the first movie a chance but there's so little of Roddenberry's vision left in it and it's obvious they'll do anything they can to broaden the appeal as much as possible. It's the fans that will keep the spirit of Trek alive. It's a shame CBS have stopped Axanar being a full length movie. It was going to be awesome.
