It's our question, now.
The world that produced #StarTrek no longer exists. The next great space opera will not, must not, imitate Trek.
We have new existential threats.
Our minds are vulnerable.
Our tech is now a threat.
The next space opera must evolve as well.

A lot of claims swirl around Oswald after all these years. What’s confirmed is he had intelligence files and drew attention because of his Soviet travel and activism. But separating documented facts from decades of speculation is where the real historical debate still lives. #JFK #ColdWar
That detail shows why the JFK story never fades away. When intelligence officers, psychological ops, and Oswald’s movements intersect, it raises more questions about what agencies knew and when. History’s biggest mysteries rarely stay simple! #JFK #Intelligence #ColdWar
