Star Trek inspired me by showing me a galaxy full of equals, and a galaxy where you don't interfere with indigenous cultures. A federation of worlds where everyone's needs are taken care of and human rights are respected.
And most importantly, an imperative to talk things out in a hostile situation before shooting.
