ResumoWILLIAM SHATNER, who played the iconic original captain James T Kirk of the starship USS Enterprise, remarked that the sci-fi technology we see in Star Trek is not as otherworldly as it seems. At Smithsonian magazine's 'Future Is Here' festival in April, Captain Kirk commented that it's not that far-fetched.
