"Beam Me Up Scotty"

"Beam me up, Scotty": a request supposedly made by Captain James T. Kirk in the original series of Star Trek. A request for ‘Chief Engineer Scotty’ to beam him back up to the star ship using the teleporters on board the ‘USS Enterprise’, back from the surface of some unknown planet; while undertaking a five-year mission to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations and to boldly go where no man has gone before!

 

Not true. It is a catchphrase that made its way into popular culture from the science fiction television series Star Trek: The Original Series. ... Though it has become irrevocably associated with the series and films, the exact phrase was never actually spoken in any Star Trek television episode or film.

 

The light fittings in this room inside ‘The library of Birmingham’ just reminded me of what a future teleporter room might look like; If the Enterprise had one then we will have one someday…… Just look at Kirk’s flip top communicator, the likeness inspired Motorola in 1996 to name the first flip phone "StarTAC."; now mobile phones are everywhere.

 

Much, or all of this may be irrelevant if you are too young to remember ‘Star Trek’ The original series…..
