Robert was inspired by this quote from Astrophysicist Neil deGrasse Tyson: "The Enterprise was the first ever spaceship represented in storytelling that was not designed to go from one place to another; it was only designed to explore. It was revolutionary in terms of what we would think space would, and should, be about. It is the most astonishing machine that has ever graced the screen."
