and all of our
Federation blue tile here.

:21:04
We offset it with these
3 hand-painted Trek tiles--

:21:08
the planets, the Enterprise,
and one of the enemy.

George Takei: We asked whether
we might visit Cape Canaveral,

:21:14
Nichelle and l, and we peered
in one of the portholes,

:21:18
and there were astronauts
working in that.

:21:21
They turned around and looked,
and they recognized our
two faces peering in at them,

:21:27
and you should have
seen their eyes light up.

:21:30
And they came scrambling
out of that place,

:21:33
and the first thing they did was ask us,
"Can we have your autographs, please?"

:21:40
We went there
to get their autographs,

:21:43
and they in turn
were asking us for ours.

:21:48
Buzz Aldrin: Star Trek
came along at a time

:21:50
when I think the public
was really kind of hungry

:21:53
for that sort of adventure,
:21:55
and it went a long ways toward
stimulating a lot of interest
into the space program.

:22:01
Star Trek is a cultural icon,
:22:03
and it's part of the lexicon now.
:22:04
As a psychotherapist, I have
Star Trek stuff in my office,

:22:08
and I use Star Trek metaphors
that everyone understands,
even if they're not a fan.

:22:13
For example, when I talk about
people having a defensive reaction,

:22:16
I talk about the shields going up,
and everyone knows what that means,

:22:19
even if they're not a fan.
:22:21
The front part of my office-- that is,
the part that the patients see--

:22:23
is a pretty straightforward
surgical office.

:22:25
My own private consulting room
is just filled with Star Trek stuff.

:22:30
I'm Denis Bourguignon.
:22:32
This is my son Doug,
my wife Shelley,

:22:36
and my daughter Kayla.
:22:38
Crosby: We're here
in Orlando, Florida,

:22:40
at the dental offices
of Dr. Denis Bourguignon.

:22:42
- Denis: Good morning.
- Good morning. How are you?

:22:44
- Pleasure to see you.
Welcome to Star Base Dental.
- Good to see you.

:22:48
Denis, Voice-Over: We originally decided
that we wanted to go with Star Trek

:22:52
because we find that Star Trek, the
episodes are always geared with a moral.

:22:57
They're good-doers, and we wanted
to portray dentistry or dentists
