Boldly go where no man has gone before (exvo.com)

Complete nitpick:

    At the very end of the movie there's a sequence in which
    the original opening words of the Star Trek series are
    spoken by Leonard Nimoy. Like they've done from my
    childhood, these words still send shivers down my spine. 

    "Space. The final frontier. These are the voyages of
    the starship Enterprise. It's continuing mission to
    explore strange new worlds. To seek out new lives and
    new civilizations. To boldly go where no man has gone
    before."
In the original series it wasn't its "continuing mission", it was its "five year mission".

And the "It's" shouldn't have an apostrophe.

Of course, any nipicking comment like this should have, somewhere, an error of its own. I wonder what it is.

But as to the content itself, it's pretty simplistic, but to my mind accurate enough. What I do isn't as great and as grand as trekking around the galaxy in a space ship, or star ship, or whatever, and I don't run life-threatening risks.

But I do work hard, I am exploring the difficult, and sometimes I like to think I make a difference.
