It is arguably the most famous opening television monologue ever:“Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Her five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.”It turns out that the last line of that memorable speech delivered by Captain James T.
