Star Trek: The Future of Mankind?

'Star Trek' used to be a TV series in the 1960's, 1990's and the early 20th century. Recently 3 movies were made based on the 1960 episodes. It is based in 24th century Earth and talks about the voyages of the starship 'Enterprise', the flagship of the 'United Federation of Planets' formed by the humans.
It's mission is to seek out new life forms, discover new planets and new civilizations, and to boldly go where no one has ever gone before.

Way ahead in the 24th century, Star Trek depicted Earth in utopia, where there were no wars and the planet lived as one in harmony. The technological capabilities of the humans were tremendous: an artificial force field surrounded Earth, starships that could warp the spacetime continuum and weapons that could destroy a planet.

Are humans progressing fast enough to reach that stage in 300 years? Now that is a question that everyone can ponder over.

One thing is certain, whether or not Star Trek is the future of mankind, that Earth is yet a dream, but what a dream!
