With NASA's Dawn probe on the way to Ceres/Vesta, I got thinking about Star Trek and real life technology. Apparently the lead researcher on the Dawn probe, which is using ion propulsion, first heard the term ion propulsion on star trek (which was invented well before the show) . I Read about it at Space Geographic (http://www.spacegeographic.com/?p=131) and watched a youtube video of the researcher linked there.
Got me thinking about the ways in which star trek has inspired other scientists and technology. Thoughts?
