I just realised that even after years of watching #StarTrek I know almost nothing about how regular people live in that world. What is their home like, if they haven’t conveniently inherited a massive vineyard? What do they do if they can’t just hop on a spaceship to save the universe, or land on a scientific breakthrough?
I realise it’s a post-money society, but by Star Trek’s own admission only the best of the best are in Starfleet. So what of the others?
