The agency even named one of its space shuttles "Enterprise" after Star Trekfans launched a letter-writing campaign in the 1970s. The shuttle was originally going to be named the Constitution to celebrate the bicentennial in 1976.
The Space Shuttle Enterprise never went to space, but its flight tests did help NASA engineers learn more about how to safely fly the other orbiters to space and back again.

European Space Agency astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti wore Star Trek-themed clothing during her time above Earth and paid tribute to Leonard Nimoy -- who played Spock in the original series -- along with NASA astronaut Terry Virts when Nimoy died in 2015.
