Although Star Trek: The Original Series only lasted three years, its impact would go on to last a lifetime.

From captains like Kirk and Picard to Commanders like Spock and Riker, could you pass this hard quiz? While Kirk was floating around in the starship U.S.S. Enterprise, which Star Trek crew made their home on a space station? The Motion Picture was the first ever Star Trek film, but what was the last of The Original Series films?
