🧵1/9 Star Trek, NASA, and the deep history of the space entertainment psyop

In 2016, as "Star Trek Beyond" lit up screens, NASA wasn’t merely a passive observer.

The agency has maintained a decades-long, mutually beneficial relationship with Gene Roddenberry’s universe, blending genuine inspiration, technical collaboration, public outreach, and deeper cultural dynamics. This thread explores that symbiosis, drawing from NASA’s own historical records, official analyses, academic studies on media partnerships, and DCF Director of Research Operations, Dr. Brett Carollo’s, research in  available in Cultural Engineering Studies.

Eye-opening short (featuring documents acquired by DCF Director of Research Operations, Dr. Brett Carollo) exposes how Hollywood gets script veto power and production help from three-letter agencies, and how "fun" movie trivia (Stallone’s dog, Cruise’s stunts, Spielberg’s fee, etc.) is often crafted PR propaganda to shape what we believe.

If you don't notice the cultural engineering, that means it's working! 🎥 🎬

@Fredosphere @PageauJonathan @TheWorthyHouse We plan to have the Collins brothers (@PhillipDCollin1) on to discuss it sometime this summer! We're going to wait a moment so we can include how culturally successful/unsuccessful the psyop seems to be as part of our analysis.

In this episode on The Firm recorded in April, I explain how the film's use of revelation of the method concerning sexual blackmail, extortion, surveillance, and government corruption in the 90s under the Clinton administration is more pertinent than ever given the ongoing Epstein affair.
