[slightly off topic]

The director of Star Trek II was unfamiliar with the show when he was hired. One of the things he did to make the Enterprise more realistic was to add "No Smoking" and other safety signs to the sets.

Which Roddenberry immediately had removed, as he felt that humanity of the future wouldn't have addictions and bad habits thereby rendering the signs superfluous

I respect Roddenberry, but humanity will always have its vices. Even at our best we will always have our worst be present.
