Star Trek: How Sci-Fi Shaped Our Vision of Space Exploration

As we approach the end of our Journey Through Space series, we revisit the Star Trek universe to talk about one of the franchise's most important ideas: faster-than-light travel.

Along the way we discuss several classic episodes from across the franchise.
