Btw, a little somethin' more about the power of Uhura:

Nichelle Nichols planned to leave Star Trek in 1967, after its first season, but Martin Luther King, Jr. persuaded her to stay, stating that she was a role model for the black community.^[3] Whoopi Goldberg, who later played Guinan on Star Trek: The Next Generation, identified the Uhura character as a role model for her.^[3]

In "Plato's Stepchildren", Uhura is involved in an early TV portrayal of an interracial kiss. This is frequently misremembered as "first televised portrayal of an interracial kiss on United States television" even though it took place after Sammy Davis, Jr. and Nancy Sinatra had openly kissed on the variety program Movin' With Nancy in December 1967.

Uhura/Nichelle Nichols is spoofed as Tawny Madison/Gwen Di Marco in Galaxy Quest. Leicester City manager Ian Holloway has also paid homage to the character, stating "I had a massive crush on her when I was little - I think we all did. She was built to last!"^[4]

Dr. Mae Jemison, the first African-American woman to fly the space shuttle, has also cited Uhura as an enormous influence. [1]

And a little mo' about Sulu:

Sulu is a Island Province in the Philippinos Archepelagos, surrounded by the Sulu Sea. As Gene Roddenberry allegedly once put it, the name of the sea was the right one to represent his view of a united and peaceful Asia in the future, because "it touched all sides". It is more of a Filipion word, as Hikaru (Japanese male name for 2nd son) Sulu was actually of Japanese-Filipino-American descent (born in San Francisc0). George Takei, who played Sulu, also was one of the first Californians to get married under their "same-sex" marriage laws of 2008.

One thing for sure: these 22nd century hotties were used to the flow by then!

Perhaps they had alreafy begun to figure it out in the 60s...
