I can't believe this video has 1.2 million views. This was made by my father, Brian, who unfortunately passed away in 2018. It was a product for it's time, which had the graininess of free-to-use video software and SD-quality clips collected over the years. And admittedly is is a bit biased towards American aviation, but I hope it can forgiven since he was in a USN SAR aircrew, so he always had a soft spot for the topic. If I could learn newer video creation techniques, I'd make atleast an HD version of this, and possibly add soms USSR clips of Yuri Gagarin's flight and newer advances in space flight. But I'm really happy that so many people appreciated this.
This is one of my most favourite songs of my life that means so much, I am so happy to have found this full version with this amazing footage too, thanks to you & your father for this, all the best to you! 🤗
Yes. I am glad they went with a lyrical one. I guess they didn't like it enough to do it again, but for me, it was inspirational and I really enjoyed Enterprise....
My dad died last week. I grew up watching every star trek episode that ever aired. I knew all the lore by the time I was 5 and we spoke about it every single time we saw each other. If he came round to visit within five minutes he'd have found some star trek to watch. This is the song he wanted at his funeral. And I will make it so
That video is right on target our hopes and dreams and space program are what made that future possible keep on dreaming and believing we will get there yet.I love that video RCVPogue
I never could understand why this song got so much hate from Star Trek fans during the show Enterprise. I felt that it was perfect for the show that it was used as the intro for.
The faith thingy ain't logical, something you can feel it but can't explain to others. Its a sci-fi series, its supossed to achieve stuff by doing and not just believing. To be honest, it does sound quite 'prophetic', its beatiful song, shame it was taken the wrong way. Also, this song will 100% irritate any Vulcan, wasn't that the point?
It was years after that I started appreciate the series and its theme song. Even if it was a reused song from a movie that had no connection to Star Trek.
How can anyone hate this song? This intro? This is a monument to the mankind. Every great achievement ever made. Our curiosity, our endurance, our willpower. This is what it means to be human. Anyone who thinks otherwise should rethink their place in this world.
This song has got no business being anywhere near a Star Trek series, especially “Enterprise”, which was one of the best, and I’ve spoken to loads of Trekkies online who refuse to watch it based solely on that song. I mean, it mentions the word “faith” at least 3 times! *In a Science Fiction series???* Who do they think are watching these programs? It’s certainly not a bunch of Evangelicals! And the worst of it was, they couldn’t even have used the Rod Stewart original…they had to use a cheap knock-off from Russell bloody Watson! I couldn’t stand that guy back then, and seeing his name come up in the title sequence was almost enough to stop me watching it! Thankfully my remote control had a mute button!
@@terrypussypower Gotta tell you, first time i watched the pilot episode i found the song... unfit for the series, but kinda grew on me, every episode forward i heard the song and all of a sudden there was a smile on my face. "Faith of the heart, faith of the mind, faith of the soul", it never says faith for a GOD or anything like it. The song speaks about hope and faith in our dreams, our goals and our strength to go forth and achieve them, not in putting empty emotionless faith in a GOD to do it. So, as a long time Star Trek fan and hardcore atheist, i aprove this awesome song 🖖🏻💫🎶
The federation and star fleet didn’t emerge out of the muck through man kind’s cynicism and sarcasm, it was through spirit, strength, optimism and hope. This song embodies those early years really well.
In 2017 I awoke in ICU after 8 days in and out conscious being told I almost died from a massive cerebellar stroke. A myrical I survived. In the early stages of recovery - I learned how to do everything as if a baby would. From walking to talking. Literally starting over at age 53. A wonderful nurse would visit and play this song for me. It is now my favorite and most inspirational song every time I feel like giving up on what's normal for most people. Never give up. Look beyond the horizon. Dare to do the impossible. Never let others hold you down. Have faith of the heart. You can do anything.
Speaking as a massive, livelong Star Trek fan, at first I was confused as to why it wasn't more like the more traditional star trek tunes of TNG, DS9 or Voyager, having watched every single episode of all three. But when I watched this series I understood... this was the beginning of our journey away from our home solar system, it was before the Federation, space was a bigger and more dangerous place than it was for Picard, or even for Kirk. But the song was filled with the same optimism I saw from the crew, a crew more similar to comtemporary humans than those on any of the classic trek series. The I understood why the theme song was different, it was describing the tone of that era, that piece of trek history. I feel nostalgic when I hear the classic trek tunes, but this one... once I got it, it moved me to tears. The visuals with it, the space missions of yesterday and today, the progression of technology and space travel, it shows how far we have come and how far we have to go. For all I know (and I'm 36 and writing this), my great great great grandchildren may some day travel the stars, and see what is out there. I will be an old woman when we can seriously think about even colonizing mars let alone explore our part of the galaxy, so it will come too late for me, but I love to think that future generations can do what we currently lack the technology to do. Each time I look up at the night sky and see the stars, I wonder who is out there, if their planets are even remotely like ours, what the aliens look like, what is their culture like, would they like to visit sometime once we're advanced and interesting enough to be worth their time, can they eat the same types of food as we eat or is their diet totally different. So many questions, but I hope our future with aliens is similar to how it's portrayed in star trek, not necessarily Earth being the center of a massive empire, but just having friendly relations with our neighbors and understanding and tolerance of each others cultures and differences. You know, it's things like this that make things like racism so stupid, for all we know, this could be the very reason aliens HAVEN'T made themselves known already.
I came here to see if everybody else hates this song as much as I do. Your post made me listen to the song again. I still don't like it, it's way too Bon Jovi for me, but I feel more respect for it. Maybe one day I'll enjoy it. Star Trek Enterprise is the only ST serie where I fast forward thru the intro, maybe I should stop doing that.
Your comment resonates with me. When I first heard this intro years ago, I will admit I hated it. I couldn't understand why this particular song was picked for the series at the time. It didn't sound anything like the Star Trek opening songs. It didn't have that usual feel. However, after a lil while of tucking into the show and briefly forgetting about the other shows treating this one as the start my mindset changed. This opening is supposed to be different. Thats the point. This song, the feeling woven into it and the words tell how man started on their path to the stars from their humble naval sailing ships which led to the first Enterprize out on the sea then with further technical advancement soon the sky was ours with air travel. We then further mastered our nautical expertise with submarines and aircraft carriers. Our next rung in the ladder was space travel. It was a long road and many remember when the Space program seemed to stall. We even took some losses along the way but now look at where we are with the commercial sector helping it grow. Past, present and future. This song . . . it covers it all. And yes, I too can't help but shed a tear when I think of just how far mankind has come despite the struggles, the setbacks, the difficulties, the pain and more. We continue on. We keep going. We keep moving forward. We let nothing get in our way. This song has become my life mantra. I think for many of us, we just never gave this song a chance or really listened to what it was trying to say to us. Coming from one lifelong Star Trek female fan who grew up on the original series thanks to my veteran dad. Now, I embrace them all. I will admit I am trying my hardest with the latest modern ones, Discovery and Picard. They lost their way somewhere along the line with these. But I don't want them to ever give up trying. Star Trek has been around for so long already. Speaking for myself and for others, I hope that it continues to be around and it finds its way into the hearts of the next generation like it did mine as an eager and wide eyed lil seven year old girl, more then 22 years ago.
hopefully they come and talk to cows,chickens and pigs first, and hear what horrible monsters we are as a race, then explode this horrible planet.... we have no hope
*Cadnian blood comes to a screeching halt as an army of Imperial guardsmen look over. Shocked at the very idea of working with filthy Xenos* No but really it’s great to see other people get the point of this song. I shall continue my crusade to get my dad to understand it.
Honestly it makes me a little angry when i think about the things you mentioned. Because i know I'll never be able to experience them in my lifetime. Yeah, i know a little selfish of me but can't help it. Hopefully my descendants can experience what i long for... if we dont annihilate ourselves in the coming decades
Because it was so different. I rewatched the whole series and enjoyed it. Star Trek fans that didn't like it wasn't putting the show in it's proper context. You had to watch Star Trek Enterprise like it was your first time watching Star trek. I bet after seeing STD Star Trek fans will never complain about this show again. lol
@@MrGrownman455 some will probably regret it got cancelled. Im open to reviving enterprise but i fear it may suffer the side effects of today's filming shit
@@wingzeroboyPAah man imagine how awesome that would have been if it were 15 seasons! That means it would have ended not all that long ago, 😢 imagine how cool that would have been.
Every time I listen to this song, I feel my faith in humanity be restored. There may be a lot of bad, but there’s a lot of good too. There’re hope. It’s a long road, but it’s not over yet.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but our history, especially the past 10 years, will neither lead to the Federation nor the Terran Empire, not even the Confederation. We're more headed towards Raised by Wolves' Mithraics vs Atheists.
hats off to every explorer and adventurer who has died whilst advancing the boundaries of human knowledge. so much of what we have today is built on the efforts of those from the past who stood to earn almost nothing from simply going. the risks taken by past human beings have given us the world we have today. the risks we take today give future generations their future. we landed on a comet? you think this is nothing? think if nobody in the 60's wanted to go to the moon.. where would we be? we cannot afford to live our lives only for ourselves. we HAVE to think of future generations. A society becomes great when old men plant trees whose shade they will never know. let us plant trees of knowledge.
Tears ... this absolutely moves me to tears. This isn't just about Star Trek or space travel. This is about DREAMS ... this is about looking over the horizon and wondering what else is out there. This is about being daring and courageous and willing to take on the extremes of our universe in order to open the minds and hearts of ordinary people. I salute all of the brave explorers of the past and the brave explorers of the future, because this video celebrates their spirit.
"The universe is not chaos. It's connection. Life reaches out for life. That's what we were born for, isn't it? To stand on a new world and look beyond it to the next one. It's who we are." 'Maggie' - "Mission to Mars"
I wish they never cancelled this show. It was a great new take on Star Trek plus this song was so inspirational. You could feel it coursing thru you like it was blood. I was upset after watching the last episode knowing that no more would follow.
My Grandfather was born in 1898. He passed away in 1993. This man lived through so much History and witnessed so many technical breakthroughs and other "Miracles", it still boggles my mind just thinking about it! Our current dreams are of Interstellar Travel. Some think we are on the threshold of a final breakthrough that will make this dream possible. I just hope and pray, should we ever attain to such capabilities, that we show a lot more of both Wisdom and Compassion then did our ancestors!
I have my first flight lesson today. I have been playing this on repeat all day. Thank you Star Trek, for letting me dream to boldly go where I have never gone before, and explore the final frontier.
I don't hate it, and there's really nothing "wrong" with it-in fact, I think it's a pretty good song. But change the opening credits, and it could have been the theme to a whole bunch of TV shows from the mid-90s to the mid-2000s. And that's the problem. The other ST themes (including ST:D which I really don't like) let you know that it wasn't just an ordinary TV show.
It changed from the more orchestral openings to what some called "power ballad" and it referenced faith (which caused the pedantic to go off on "it's about science".
@@almostfm Yes. It sounds like "a whole bunch of TV shows from the mid-90s to the mid-2000s. And that's the problem." But no. That's the genius. This show is set before the other series; closer to our current time. And it shows scenes from out time. The common music just ADDS a perfect topping to it.
Major goose bumps... especially realizing that the name "Enterprise" now owes more of its notability to the StarTrek franchise than it does to the records of the various USS Enterprises (one of the new Ford-class nuclear carriers will be USS Enterprise, now that CVN-65 has been decommissioned) and the original HMS Enterprise. Dreams matter.
The name has become somewhat heavy with its history. Probably so much so that i find it highly likely and amusing that if we every get to build spaceships for real, a good part of them will be named Enterprise.
@@eventingcrazy Actually, with some nice irony, the spelling of the Royal Navy warship was the H.M.S. Enterprize. With a "z". You can actually see that in the opening credits sequence, if you look. So, yeah, the British warship had the "American" spelling, and the American ships have the "British" spelling. But I like that. It's like "cultural exchange" and very Roddenberry at heart.
I have always loved both the song and the video that goes with it. To me it embodies the true spirit of human exploration into the unknown, which fits the theme of the Trek universe.
This song with the whole background of aviation and space travel development extrapolated into the Star Trek time period fits so well. It forges a connection between our own space travel tech and that of Star Trek's. The song also makes me feel good and hopeful for the future.
It was a great show that sadly came to an end IMO prematurely. Like many, I questioned the theme tune when compared to the other Star Trek series out there. But I see the meaning now. It is inspirational as much as it shows the journey, so makes sense. I have told my children to listen to these words carefully and know that with enough dedication, hard work determination and focus, they can reach their own stars, regardless of what others may say or mock.
I realize I will be classified as a uber nerd for this, but this song actually brings me to tears every time I hear it... Faith of the heart... The belief in oneself to be able to do anything... I hope humanity becomes like Starfleet
man, this song... it's a perfect tribute to exploration, starting from our world and now the final frontier. and the best part about it is that we know almost nothing, we will live the beginning of a new era of exploration, with both good and bad thing but ultimately we will become a better specie, WE'LL GO WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE!
the Vulkrox Space the final frunter these are the Voyagers of the starshim Enterprise its continuing mition to explore strange new world's to seak out new life and new sivolasations to boldly go wher no non has gone before (Patrick Stewarts Version) the one I just said Star Trek The next Generation =)
the Vulkrox oh and I know in William Shatnas version is instead of Continuing mition I know its 5 year mition and also in William s where no man has gone before
Benedict Zwartzneger Thank you for your help but it seems not available to me South Park? Serms easy to remember I bet I can find it on a website Though I have no idea how this has anything to do with This song but im going to do some research on this to see if its true or not
When I was young my dad would always let me stay up just long enough to watch this and this song and the videos always made me feel strong secure and proud
I know some people have an issue with this intro music because of the lyric ‘I have faith’ when clearly Star Trek is about scientific discovery, but in this case it seems to me as if the faith of the singer is in themselves. It’s about confidence and self assuredness that anything is possible and you can achieve your dreams. That a species that once lived in caves and used spears could someday travel beyond the stars
Some people have an issue with anything. I don't care. Faith is MUCH more than a religious term. Watched Star Trek from 60's though not the streaming series.
Ben B, Faith in the religious context aside. I see it as meaning there is faith in the hope that humanity that can move beyond hate and war and seek out new life and civilisations. To make star trek real.
@@TheHolyMongolEmpire It truly served it's purpose here more then the film ever did. Sometimes life just has a silly way of making things work out like that.
three days after the 30th anniversary of the Challenger accident it still hurts to see the crew, I remember watching the launch and explosion in elementary school, I'm 38 now. This is an excellent tribute to their sacrifice and all our members of the space program. instead of working on weapons to kill each other, our government should take those dollars and put it into the next frontier, Space. There are discoveries to be made! if we don't those lives lost in the space program were in vain.
Robert, I KNOW how you feel because I watched the first orbits around the earth LIVE. I saw our USA efforts to get to the moon, failures and ultimate success. I dreamed of that being me from sixth grade. I'm over 60 now and I STILL haven't given up my dream! Privatized space travel is becoming a reality and no matter what the risk, I'm going to get UP there. Wanna go to mars? keep the dream alive son!
I love Enterprise and I love this song. Got the boxset for Christmas and watched it back to back. Almost made me cry when I got to the end. I’m going to miss those guys 😭
It´s been a long road, getting from there to here. It´s been a long time, but my time is finally near. And I can feel the change in the wind right now. Nothing´s in my way. And they´re not gonna hold me down no more, no they´re not gonna hold me down. Cause I´ve got faith of the heart. I´m going where my heart will take me. I´ve got faith to believe. I can do anything. I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me. I can reach any star. I´ve got faith, I´ve got faith, faith of the heart. It´s been a long night. Trying to find my way. Been through the darkness. Now I finally have my day. And I will see my dream come alive at last. I will touch the sky. And they´re not gonna hold me down no more, no they´re not gonna change my mind. Cause I´ve got faith of the heart. I´m going where my heart will take me. I´ve got faith to believe. I can do anything. I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me. I can reach any star. I´ve got faith, faith of the heart. I´ve known the wind so cold, and seen the darkest days. But now the winds I feel, are only winds of change. I´ve been through the fire and I´ve been through the rain. But I´ll be fine. Cause I´ve got faith of the heart. I´m going where my heart will take me. I´ve got faith to believe. I can do anything. I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me. I can reach any star. I´ve got faith. I´ve got faith of the heart. I´m going where my heart will take me. I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me. I can reach any star. I´ve got faith, I´ve got faith, faith of the heart. It´s been a long road.
Just started watching Star Trek for the first time some days ago and already finished Enterprise. I loved it! At first, as many others, I hated that cheesy theme song, but as the series progressed, I recognized how fitting it really was. By the disappointing end of the series, I grew to love that inspirational and uplifting song just as much as the series! ❤
my mum loved this song, especially the bit with the sailing ship called HMS Enterprize. Her dad was in the navy and it held a special place for her. I always thought this song was perfect for this series because it shows the journey and the progress, but above all the newness and the fact that this was the very start, before everything.
------ TRIVIA ------ The American astronaut shown in the opening credits of Star Trek: Enterprise is Alan Shepard, the first American astronaut in space, and later commander of Apollo 14. There is also archive footage of: Charles A. Lindbergh next to his plane Spirit of St. Louis, the NASA space shuttle Enterprise, Amelia Earhart next to her plane, the Wright brothers' flight combined with Robert H. Goddard, the father of modern rocketry, writing his theories on a blackboard, Chuck Yeager and the Bell X-1 with which he broke the sound barrier, and astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins as they board Apollo 11 to become the first men on the moon. The astronaut seen floating in space next to the shuttle with the jet pack is Bruce Mccandless, the first to test the jet pack, nicknamed the Buck Rogers space pack.
I still don't understand why people hate this theme. I unironically think it's the best theme of the entire Star Trek series. Especially with the intro visuals. It's just SO good. This Theme, plus the visuals is like, the perfect kind of thing to send out into space. It's the baby steps of human space exploration! How could you NOT like this theme??? it's fantastic. Different? Sure! But still amazing! Edit: Some typos.
Agreed. If people don't like it, it's because it's different than any other Star Trek theme song. Get used to it. Things evolve. Just like the song says.
This is the best! It's not only one of the most inspirational song ever but it's also impressive to see the generations of ships go further and further showing us how we evolve It's beautiful it reminds us we can do everything possible and nothing is impossible. I quote from Picard to a undeveloped species who saw their technology : Nothing is out of our Reach, not even the stars
I've spent the last several years watching episodes of all the Star Trek series each night on UPN. After watching them for several months, I was very surprised to find that that I found the Enterprise series to be far and away, the second best Star Trek series ever, just behind the original Star Trek series. And the only reason I put the original series first, is because it deserves a lot of credit for being the first and bringing the concept to live, and covering a lot of social topics that were controversial when it came out in the '60s . The reason I love the Enterprise series so much is because it never had "trivial" episodes, where the show was dominated by romance themes ( ex. Riker and Troi), it never had "silly" episodes like Voyager devolving into Tim Paris playing Flash Gordon in the holodeck), and it was far superior to Deep Space Nine . Enterprise was gritty, with morally complex themes ( ex. Archer having to blow up a listening post of unarmed aliens in order to keep their presence secret while trying to find and stop the doomsday weapon from blowing up Earth ), and it showed how difficult it was to be in space , pretty much on your own , without a fleet of starships to help you out. The way Star Trek fans dissed this show and , in my opinion, are very closed minded about it , is a shame. They're missing out on an excellent series
Except for the last 2 episodes, I thought Star Trek Enterprise was great. Answered a lot of Questions. Learned the I.D. #,s of the U.S.S. Defiant, NCC-1764. Learned what kind of logo it had on the uniform. Damn! Jolene Blacklock looked sexy in a 60,s Go Go mini Defiant dress. Just watching her was worth the show.
You didn't like Terra Prime? Thought that was a great episode. I'm only sad they didn't end the show there. Instead we got the crappy These Are the Voyages.
It's such a shame that show got canceled just as it was Finding its footing they could have done the Romulan War and ended the last season with the signing of the Federation Charter
I've ALWAYS thought this song was PERFECT for the enterprise show. Since it was the FIRST ENTERPRISE. "ITS BEEN A LONG ROAD, GETTING FROM HERE TO THERE" is an acknowledgment of how far humanity has come from since we launched the Voyager satellites and.landed on the moon. It captures EVERYTHING the world felt at that time. It is my personal FAVORITE ST song.
As I watch Enterprise, hearing This song reminds me of my late step sister. She never did like Star Trek but she learned to endure it. She would sing this song. And now when I hear it it brings me to tears. The words are so true.
It's awesome tribute to all that has traveled into space exploration from landing on the moon to the Challenger accident. God bless those who did. And God bless to Gene Rodenberry creating Star Trek and allowing us to image what it would to live in space. Live long and prosper.
A lot of people are critical of this song for being different than the orchestral songs of previous ST series, but the beginning, in particular, always gives me chills.
On currently watching Star Trek Enterprise on Horror Channel in the UK for the first time, (YES, in 2018, sorry!) I can honestly say it is my favourite Star Trek series, hands down. Not a bad episode in there up to Episode 20, Season 3. It is fantastic, and PHEW!, that heart-shuddering theme opening, awesome! Great acting and production values throughout from all involved. Epic stuff. Miss it, when it ends. Will have to chase up the DVDs from Series 1, to Series 5, fast.
I still love Enterprise but... its now my fourth favorite Star Trek series. Deep Space Nine is now #1, then its Next Generation, then Voyager, then Enterprise.
At this point in my life this song has meaning for me. I’ve always been afraid of change and risk because I’ve always been more terrified of failure than excited for the possibility of success. That wall seems to have finally crumbled and I am no longer afraid. At 41 I am finally ready to make serious changes in career and health. Kahless be praised.
Could be one of my favorite tunes . . i do not usually post here but I will say this... I started watching Star Trek at 3.. original series... been with me my whole life... which I am grateful
This song is so dear to my heart. I started working as a customer support at a company. I was treated very badly. Moved on from that job to another, becoming a marketing data analyst. The salary wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. All this time, I studied hard, never gave up, following my dream. I always wanted to be a game developer and have my own company. I worked over 13 hours a day on Upwork, Fiver, all this time, listening to this song on repeat. Today, after 7 years, I have my own company, working on game development and still listening to this song - My time is finally near and this is the soundtrack that gave me all the motivation to do it! P.S. I'm a Star Trek geek too and I love it! :))
I printed out the lyrics of this song several years ago when I was going through a trying time in my life. Reading it every day helped me get through it even after I was cried out of tears. Now I am going to do it again to get my psyched up to pass the LSAT test, go to law school and make something more out of my life!
Holy Gene Rodenberry's Ghost! This goes straight into my favorites, right this instant, because the additional footage so uttterly matches the extended song, that not only has it given me a case of the shivers, it almost made me cry!
I never completely understood why some so-called Star Trek fans disliked this song, but I believe their dislike for it is mostly based on human emotion and their preference towards traditional orchestral music, and not really about what the song means. This is after all the most logical theme song for a Star Trek show because it completely captures man's quest for space; not letting anyone get in the way because he has faith in himself and his abilities. (Now read that again in Spock's or Tuvok's voice)
On November, 2017 I almost died from a massive ischemic stroke. As I began the long road to recovery into my new normal, a nurse/therapist would visit and play this song for me every day. It got me through those early days of learning to walk, read, talk, and write again. Now it's my favorite source of inspiration when I'm down and in doubt. Even today, I'm doing things people were saying I'd never do again. This song is about not giving up. It's about daring to dream the impossible and accomplishing exactly that which we do not think is possible. Look beyond the horizon and go there. Live long and prosper.
I was going to post on this particular song and as I scrolled down, I read your thread and our cases are eerily similar. My stroke was also ischemic and happened 2 days before Xmas 2017. I heard this song when I would watch Enterprise in the hospital and later when I couldn't sleep at night when I was home. There are many lines from the song from which I still draw inspiration to this day. I figure I am looking at 7 year recovery and I work on it 6 days a week often for hours. I have the reading, talking, and writing back to normal. I am back driving and I have worked a little, although the limits are COVID related not stroke related. I am also doing things people were saying I'd never do like walking without a cane, which I started doing in April. I wo.uld love to hear an update on your recovery. Mine is really taking off in Year 5! It's been a long road, getting there to here. (i always add NO DOUBT) It's been a long time, but my time is finally near. Been through the darkness. Now I finally have my day. And I will see my dream come alive at last. I will touch the sky. Cause I've got faith of the heart.
Enterprise was the first st series I ever watched (and i watched it with my family). It is what got me into star trek. Thank you to the creators. I know it is not universally liked, but i really loved it and I believe that it was getting beterr every season and that the romulan-eaeth war with thr creation of the federation would have been amazijg star trek and i am very sad that i never got to watch it.
This was a great song and I also think it was perfect for the Show. I've been watching reruns of all the various Star Trek shows, for the past several months, and I'm surprised to say that I think the 'Enterprise ' show was not only vastly underrated, but was probably the SECOND best Star Trek series ever, behind only the original series. I realize Trekkie's will cry 'blasphemy' at that statement, , but the Next Generation, as good as it was , had a lot of lame episodes, especially in the later years. And Voyager got pretty silly after 3 years, while Deep Space Nine was never very good. . The Enterprise series however, always had good episodes, an excellent cast, and it showed what I thought was a fairly realistic, gritty way, of how the Federation came to be and survive despite a lot of early challenges. It 's much much better than it was given credit for.
Yes! I'm glad we have the same feelings about TOS and Enterprise. Most people consider TNG to be the best and Enterprise to be the worst. I've always thought TOS was the best and Enterprise was right up there in 2nd place.
Voyager is the one that everybody always dissed when I was growing up. This show was just straight up forgotten. That said, Enterprise, TNG, Voyager, DS9 and the original series are unfortunately the only good Trek series we've managed to snag. I haven't been able to stomach much of the newer series. Especially those trash tier animated ones
oh... God, was so touching when I recognized the crew from Apollo 1, Challenger and Columbia, our heroes that assumed the risk and sacrified their lives while trying to go beyond 😢
From the first ships, to planes, to rockets, to shuttles, to space stations, to early starships, to the flight of the Phoenix, to the first warp ships, to the first warp 5 ship, the constitution class, to the excelsior class, to the ambassador class, to the galaxy glass to the sovereign class Enterprise E. It truly has been a long road.
Mr Star Trek himself, Gene. His dream to reach&explore space together. He was a racial for pushin the envelope on culture,science&tech. But he gave us warnings on using science&tech creatively. For the betterment of humanity.

I can't believe this video has 1.2 million views. This was made by my father, Brian, who unfortunately passed away in 2018. It was a product for it's time, which had the graininess of free-to-use video software and SD-quality clips collected over the years.
And admittedly is is a bit biased towards American aviation, but I hope it can forgiven since he was in a USN SAR aircrew, so he always had a soft spot for the topic.
If I could learn newer video creation techniques, I'd make atleast an HD version of this, and possibly add soms USSR clips of Yuri Gagarin's flight and newer advances in space flight. But I'm really happy that so many people appreciated this.
Bless your father's soul, and your heart.
Question, do you know if the funeral footage was from the actual funeral for the Columbia/and or Challenger astronauts?
This is one of my most favourite songs of my life that means so much, I am so happy to have found this full version with this amazing footage too, thanks to you & your father for this, all the best to you! 🤗
[F], God bless him and your family bro.
I'm sorry for your loss. Your father did an amazing job with the tools at his disposal, and the world is lesser for his passing.
My favorite theme song of all the Star Trek series!
me too
Yes. I am glad they went with a lyrical one. I guess they didn't like it enough to do it again, but for me, it was inspirational and I really enjoyed Enterprise....
Me too
Not me. I prefer the traditional entries to this stuff.
I agree!
I wish we could get alternative universe cable TV where this show wasn't cancelled
My dad died last week. I grew up watching every star trek episode that ever aired. I knew all the lore by the time I was 5 and we spoke about it every single time we saw each other. If he came round to visit within five minutes he'd have found some star trek to watch.
This is the song he wanted at his funeral. And I will make it so

Sorry for your loss
RIP
Make it so. rip 1 year ago.
That video is right on target our hopes and dreams and space program are what made that future possible keep on dreaming and believing we will get there yet.I love that video RCVPogue
I never could understand why this song got so much hate from Star Trek fans during the show Enterprise. I felt that it was perfect for the show that it was used as the intro for.
Yeah boggles my mind.
The faith thingy ain't logical, something you can feel it but can't explain to others. Its a sci-fi series, its supossed to achieve stuff by doing and not just believing. To be honest, it does sound quite 'prophetic', its beatiful song, shame it was taken the wrong way. Also, this song will 100% irritate any Vulcan, wasn't that the point?
ya, I immediately fell in love with this, it's perfect.
mcdanielindigo you are crazy
It was years after that I started appreciate the series and its theme song. Even if it was a reused song from a movie that had no connection to Star Trek.
How can anyone hate this song? This intro? This is a monument to the mankind. Every great achievement ever made. Our curiosity, our endurance, our willpower. This is what it means to be human. Anyone who thinks otherwise should rethink their place in this world.
You're confusing the song with the visuals.
Well said people fail to understand we humans must have faith in ourselves to get anything accomplished
This song has got no business being anywhere near a Star Trek series, especially “Enterprise”, which was one of the best, and I’ve spoken to loads of Trekkies online who refuse to watch it based solely on that song. I mean, it mentions the word “faith” at least 3 times! *In a Science Fiction series???*
Who do they think are watching these programs? It’s certainly not a bunch of Evangelicals!
And the worst of it was, they couldn’t even have used the Rod Stewart original…they had to use a cheap knock-off from Russell bloody Watson! I couldn’t stand that guy back then, and seeing his name come up in the title sequence was almost enough to stop me watching it!
Thankfully my remote control had a mute button!
@@terrypussypower Gotta tell you, first time i watched the pilot episode i found the song... unfit for the series, but kinda grew on me, every episode forward i heard the song and all of a sudden there was a smile on my face.
"Faith of the heart, faith of the mind, faith of the soul", it never says faith for a GOD or anything like it. The song speaks about hope and faith in our dreams, our goals and our strength to go forth and achieve them, not in putting empty emotionless faith in a GOD to do it.
So, as a long time Star Trek fan and hardcore atheist, i aprove this awesome song 🖖🏻💫🎶
appropriate for this trek title ❤️
21 years later I appreciate this song and the show. It really was a long road.
I disvered it yesterday
Indeed.
You have Faith of the Heart!
it was a god damned long road. But I'm here and so are you guys.
Enterprise was my favorite Star Trek. And I love this song!
mine too.
Yes,me too.
Rod Stewart's music is the best in Sound,understanding text and meaning and emotional.
No doubt, great song that really touches one emotionally.
Gioco da tavola della Enterprise📼
The federation and star fleet didn’t emerge out of the muck through man kind’s cynicism and sarcasm, it was through spirit, strength, optimism and hope. This song embodies those early years really well.

If I could heart instead of thumbs up here I would...
I wish we had that. But just like the series we'll probably need world war 3 for that to happen...
In 2017 I awoke in ICU after 8 days in and out conscious being told I almost died from a massive cerebellar stroke. A myrical I survived. In the early stages of recovery - I learned how to do everything as if a baby would. From walking to talking. Literally starting over at age 53. A wonderful nurse would visit and play this song for me. It is now my favorite and most inspirational song every time I feel like giving up on what's normal for most people.
Never give up. Look beyond the horizon. Dare to do the impossible. Never let others hold you down. Have faith of the heart. You can do anything.
That was BEAUTIFUL!....bless you.
Star Trek always was more than just a TV show. Faith, heart, boldness. Live long and prosper, ser.

God bless you sir
thank you
Speaking as a massive, livelong Star Trek fan, at first I was confused as to why it wasn't more like the more traditional star trek tunes of TNG, DS9 or Voyager, having watched every single episode of all three. But when I watched this series I understood... this was the beginning of our journey away from our home solar system, it was before the Federation, space was a bigger and more dangerous place than it was for Picard, or even for Kirk. But the song was filled with the same optimism I saw from the crew, a crew more similar to comtemporary humans than those on any of the classic trek series. The I understood why the theme song was different, it was describing the tone of that era, that piece of trek history. I feel nostalgic when I hear the classic trek tunes, but this one... once I got it, it moved me to tears. The visuals with it, the space missions of yesterday and today, the progression of technology and space travel, it shows how far we have come and how far we have to go. For all I know (and I'm 36 and writing this), my great great great grandchildren may some day travel the stars, and see what is out there. I will be an old woman when we can seriously think about even colonizing mars let alone explore our part of the galaxy, so it will come too late for me, but I love to think that future generations can do what we currently lack the technology to do. Each time I look up at the night sky and see the stars, I wonder who is out there, if their planets are even remotely like ours, what the aliens look like, what is their culture like, would they like to visit sometime once we're advanced and interesting enough to be worth their time, can they eat the same types of food as we eat or is their diet totally different. So many questions, but I hope our future with aliens is similar to how it's portrayed in star trek, not necessarily Earth being the center of a massive empire, but just having friendly relations with our neighbors and understanding and tolerance of each others cultures and differences. You know, it's things like this that make things like racism so stupid, for all we know, this could be the very reason aliens HAVEN'T made themselves known already.
I came here to see if everybody else hates this song as much as I do. Your post made me listen to the song again. I still don't like it, it's way too Bon Jovi for me, but I feel more respect for it. Maybe one day I'll enjoy it. Star Trek Enterprise is the only ST serie where I fast forward thru the intro, maybe I should stop doing that.
Your comment resonates with me. When I first heard this intro years ago, I will admit I hated it. I couldn't understand why this particular song was picked for the series at the time. It didn't sound anything like the Star Trek opening songs. It didn't have that usual feel. However, after a lil while of tucking into the show and briefly forgetting about the other shows treating this one as the start my mindset changed. This opening is supposed to be different. Thats the point.
This song, the feeling woven into it and the words tell how man started on their path to the stars from their humble naval sailing ships which led to the first Enterprize out on the sea then with further technical advancement soon the sky was ours with air travel. We then further mastered our nautical expertise with submarines and aircraft carriers. Our next rung in the ladder was space travel. It was a long road and many remember when the Space program seemed to stall. We even took some losses along the way but now look at where we are with the commercial sector helping it grow.
Past, present and future. This song . . . it covers it all.
And yes, I too can't help but shed a tear when I think of just how far mankind has come despite the struggles, the setbacks, the difficulties, the pain and more. We continue on. We keep going. We keep moving forward. We let nothing get in our way.
This song has become my life mantra.
I think for many of us, we just never gave this song a chance or really listened to what it was trying to say to us.
Coming from one lifelong Star Trek female fan who grew up on the original series thanks to my veteran dad. Now, I embrace them all. I will admit I am trying my hardest with the latest modern ones, Discovery and Picard.
They lost their way somewhere along the line with these.
But I don't want them to ever give up trying.
Star Trek has been around for so long already. Speaking for myself and for others, I hope that it continues to be around and it finds its way into the hearts of the next generation like it did mine as an eager and wide eyed lil seven year old girl, more then 22 years ago.
hopefully they come and talk to cows,chickens and pigs first, and hear what horrible monsters we are as a race, then explode this horrible planet.... we have no hope
*Cadnian blood comes to a screeching halt as an army of Imperial guardsmen look over. Shocked at the very idea of working with filthy Xenos*
No but really it’s great to see other people get the point of this song. I shall continue my crusade to get my dad to understand it.
Honestly it makes me a little angry when i think about the things you mentioned. Because i know I'll never be able to experience them in my lifetime. Yeah, i know a little selfish of me but can't help it. Hopefully my descendants can experience what i long for... if we dont annihilate ourselves in the coming decades
Enterprise was my favorite series. I never understood the hate it got from fans.
Look at te ratings.. it wasn't just the fans
Because it was so different. I rewatched the whole series and enjoyed it. Star Trek fans that didn't like it wasn't putting the show in it's proper context. You had to watch Star Trek Enterprise like it was your first time watching Star trek. I bet after seeing STD Star Trek fans will never complain about this show again. lol
@@MrGrownman455 some will probably regret it got cancelled. Im open to reviving enterprise but i fear it may suffer the side effects of today's filming shit

@@wingzeroboyPAah man imagine how awesome that would have been if it were 15 seasons! That means it would have ended not all that long ago, 😢 imagine how cool that would have been.
this song saved my life
Every time I listen to this song, I feel my faith in humanity be restored. There may be a lot of bad, but there’s a lot of good too. There’re hope. It’s a long road, but it’s not over yet.
Thank you for this message.
cool
This is the message,what's inside of this song and this is the understanding of the text how it's supposed to be.
And yes,there are still hope.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but our history, especially the past 10 years, will neither lead to the Federation nor the Terran Empire, not even the Confederation. We're more headed towards Raised by Wolves' Mithraics vs Atheists.
Awesome song
hats off to every explorer and adventurer who has died whilst advancing the boundaries of human knowledge. so much of what we have today is built on the efforts of those from the past who stood to earn almost nothing from simply going. the risks taken by past human beings have given us the world we have today. the risks we take today give future generations their future. we landed on a comet? you think this is nothing? think if nobody in the 60's wanted to go to the moon.. where would we be? we cannot afford to live our lives only for ourselves. we HAVE to think of future generations.
A society becomes great when old men plant trees whose shade they will never know.
let us plant trees of knowledge.

So true
Same to all animals.
Excellent point, we should all strive for new experiences and great journeys through new frontiers. 🚀🌙🌠
Tears ... this absolutely moves me to tears. This isn't just about Star Trek or space travel. This is about DREAMS ... this is about looking over the horizon and wondering what else is out there. This is about being daring and courageous and willing to take on the extremes of our universe in order to open the minds and hearts of ordinary people. I salute all of the brave explorers of the past and the brave explorers of the future, because this video celebrates their spirit.
Agreed,Number One.

Best star trek intro ever
my dad died in 2021 for covid, he loved star trek and this was his favorite song because of enterpise(the ship not the show).RIP DAD
Bless your Dad.
Dad had good taste.
I wish they never cancelled this show. It was a great new take on Star Trek plus this song was so inspirational. You could feel it coursing thru you like it was blood. I was upset after watching the last episode knowing that no more would follow.
I wholeheartedly agree with you.
So you wish it had been broadcast from its premier to today?
It wasn't woke to liberal in Hollywood that why they fight to cancelled this so bad
Same :(
It's a very touching song indeed. I love it.
My Grandfather was born in 1898. He passed away in 1993. This man lived through so much History and witnessed so many technical breakthroughs and other "Miracles", it still boggles my mind just thinking about it!
Our current dreams are of Interstellar Travel. Some think we are on the threshold of a final breakthrough that will make this dream possible.
I just hope and pray, should we ever attain to such capabilities, that we show a lot more of both Wisdom and Compassion then did our ancestors!
i feel that this song and the visuals of the enterprise opening are the essence of star trek: peaceful exploration, adventure, and advancing the world
But carry a big stick to protect the innocent and the vulnerable.
Wow, the Challenger, Columbia, Apollo 1 crew shots really got me in the feels...
May they and their fellow astronauts who lived through those times Rest in Peace.
Me as well.
They was heros as they was brave to reach outward and guide us to the stars.

I have my first flight lesson today. I have been playing this on repeat all day. Thank you Star Trek, for letting me dream to boldly go where I have never gone before, and explore the final frontier.
Congrats on your first flight into a whole new world! ❤
Howd ya do?
Never understand why most star trek fans hate this song I'm a star trek fun and I love this song
I don't hate it, and there's really nothing "wrong" with it-in fact, I think it's a pretty good song. But change the opening credits, and it could have been the theme to a whole bunch of TV shows from the mid-90s to the mid-2000s. And that's the problem. The other ST themes (including ST:D which I really don't like) let you know that it wasn't just an ordinary TV show.
I'm a Star Trek fan , for this franchise season 1 & 2 never skip the opening song.
It changed from the more orchestral openings to what some called "power ballad" and it referenced faith (which caused the pedantic to go off on "it's about science".
Everyone hated the season 2 sped up version that sounds terrible. This one is okay.
@@almostfm Yes. It sounds like "a whole bunch of TV shows from the mid-90s to the mid-2000s. And that's the problem."
But no. That's the genius. This show is set before the other series; closer to our current time. And it shows scenes from out time. The common music just ADDS a perfect topping to it.
Major goose bumps... especially realizing that the name "Enterprise" now owes more of its notability to the StarTrek franchise than it does to the records of the various USS Enterprises (one of the new Ford-class nuclear carriers will be USS Enterprise, now that CVN-65 has been decommissioned) and the original HMS Enterprise. Dreams matter.
The name has become somewhat heavy with its history. Probably so much so that i find it highly likely and amusing that if we every get to build spaceships for real, a good part of them will be named Enterprise.
Actually, the original Enterprise was a Royal Navy warship from 1705. Indeed there were 13 ships named Enterprise before CVN-65 was even commissioned.
There is a HMS Enterprise is service right now. It is a survey ship, which is basically an exploration ship. Quite fitting if you ask me
@@eventingcrazy Actually, with some nice irony, the spelling of the Royal Navy warship was the H.M.S. Enterprize. With a "z".
You can actually see that in the opening credits sequence, if you look.
So, yeah, the British warship had the "American" spelling, and the American ships have the "British" spelling.
But I like that. It's like "cultural exchange" and very Roddenberry at heart.
@@theexchipmunk And they better try to get a guy with the last name of Kirk to command at least one of them.
I have always loved both the song and the video that goes with it. To me it embodies the true spirit of human exploration into the unknown, which fits the theme of the Trek universe.
Showing the lost shuttle and Apollo 1crews thank you they disserve this.
This song with the whole background of aviation and space travel development extrapolated into the Star Trek time period fits so well. It forges a connection between our own space travel tech and that of Star Trek's. The song also makes me feel good and hopeful for the future.

Steppenwolf! Cochrane would be proud.
Wow. Here is people from 2020😂
It was a great show that sadly came to an end IMO prematurely. Like many, I questioned the theme tune when compared to the other Star Trek series out there. But I see the meaning now. It is inspirational as much as it shows the journey, so makes sense. I have told my children to listen to these words carefully and know that with enough dedication, hard work determination and focus, they can reach their own stars, regardless of what others may say or mock.
I realize I will be classified as a uber nerd for this, but this song actually brings me to tears every time I hear it... Faith of the heart... The belief in oneself to be able to do anything... I hope humanity becomes like Starfleet
💗
Brought tears to me too. Hope for humankind.
I hope so and I hope our starfleet have an enterprise as our flagship to the stars.
man, this song... it's a perfect tribute to exploration, starting from our world and now the final frontier. and the best part about it is that we know almost nothing, we will live the beginning of a new era of exploration, with both good and bad thing but ultimately we will become a better specie, WE'LL GO WHERE NO MAN HAS GONE BEFORE!
what r u 80 years old? Its a south park joke.

We don‘t think through borders. We are one world. We can do this real and I mean come on we all would like life in this world?
humans are a species, not a race.
One of the most beautiful songs I've heard. perfect for this series.
When I was young my dad would always let me stay up just long enough to watch this and this song and the videos always made me feel strong secure and proud
I know some people have an issue with this intro music because of the lyric ‘I have faith’ when clearly Star Trek is about scientific discovery, but in this case it seems to me as if the faith of the singer is in themselves. It’s about confidence and self assuredness that anything is possible and you can achieve your dreams. That a species that once lived in caves and used spears could someday travel beyond the stars
Some people have an issue with anything. I don't care. Faith is MUCH more than a religious term. Watched Star Trek from 60's though not the streaming series.
Ben B, Faith in the religious context aside. I see it as meaning there is faith in the hope that humanity that can move beyond hate and war and seek out new life and civilisations. To make star trek real.
It never actually occurred to me that the faith in the song even could be religious faith. I always saw it as faith in oneself.
Damn if that’s true, that’s really petty and shallow.
I’d say it’s about faith in humanity, science and rationality!
Star Trek:Enterprise should've deserved an Emmy Award for this category-Best original TV Theme Song.
The song was actually made for the Robbin Williams movie Patch Adams.
@@TheHolyMongolEmpire It truly served it's purpose here more then the film ever did. Sometimes life just has a silly way of making things work out like that.
While I don’t hate the song, I still feel they should have used Archer’s theme. But the visuals in the background, however ❤️
three days after the 30th anniversary of the Challenger accident it still hurts to see the crew, I remember watching the launch and explosion in elementary school, I'm 38 now. This is an excellent tribute to their sacrifice and all our members of the space program.
instead of working on weapons to kill each other, our government should take those dollars and put it into the next frontier, Space. There are discoveries to be made! if we don't those lives lost in the space program were in vain.
Space is just another political game now. Nobody cares. We would start WWIII over who owns the moon.
Robert McDonald i agree iim stil new to star trek but i have faith within humanity that well go on but that well meet new life an well prevail
Robert McDonald agreed
MrWolfSnack there is a law preventing a nation from claiming a planet or moon.
Robert, I KNOW how you feel because I watched the first orbits around the earth LIVE. I saw our USA efforts to get to the moon, failures and ultimate success. I dreamed of that being me from sixth grade. I'm over 60 now and I STILL haven't given up my dream! Privatized space travel is becoming a reality and no matter what the risk, I'm going to get UP there. Wanna go to mars? keep the dream alive son!
Excellent theme 🌌
I love Enterprise and I love this song. Got the boxset for Christmas and watched it back to back. Almost made me cry when I got to the end. I’m going to miss those guys 😭
The founding of the Federation brings me to my knees. I keep hoping we get there before I die.

Been through the darkness. Now I finally have my day.
And I will see my dream come alive at last. I will touch the sky.
And they´re not gonna hold me down no more, no they´re not gonna change my mind.
Cause I´ve got faith of the heart.
I´m going where my heart will take me.
I´ve got faith to believe. I can do anything.
I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star. I´ve got faith, faith of the heart.
I´ve known the wind so cold, and seen the darkest days.
But now the winds I feel, are only winds of change.
I´ve been through the fire and I´ve been through the rain.
But I´ll be fine.
Cause I´ve got faith of the heart.
I´m going where my heart will take me.
I´ve got faith to believe. I can do anything.
I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star. I´ve got faith.
I´ve got faith of the heart.
I´m going where my heart will take me.
I´ve got strength of the soul. And no one´s gonna bend or break me.
I can reach any star. I´ve got faith, I´ve got faith, faith of the heart.

Just started watching Star Trek for the first time some days ago and already finished Enterprise. I loved it!
At first, as many others, I hated that cheesy theme song, but as the series progressed, I recognized how fitting it really was.
By the disappointing end of the series, I grew to love that inspirational and uplifting song just as much as the series! ❤
my mum loved this song, especially the bit with the sailing ship called HMS Enterprize. Her dad was in the navy and it held a special place for her. I always thought this song was perfect for this series because it shows the journey and the progress, but above all the newness and the fact that this was the very start, before everything.
Most emotional star trek intro to date :)
The best intro of the entire Star Trek saga
This theme is my INSPIRATION.
------ TRIVIA ------
The American astronaut shown in the opening credits of Star Trek: Enterprise is Alan Shepard, the first American astronaut in space, and later commander of Apollo 14. There is also archive footage of: Charles A. Lindbergh next to his plane Spirit of St. Louis, the NASA space shuttle Enterprise, Amelia Earhart next to her plane, the Wright brothers' flight combined with Robert H. Goddard, the father of modern rocketry, writing his theories on a blackboard, Chuck Yeager and the Bell X-1 with which he broke the sound barrier, and astronauts Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins as they board Apollo 11 to become the first men on the moon. The astronaut seen floating in space next to the shuttle with the jet pack is Bruce Mccandless, the first to test the jet pack, nicknamed the Buck Rogers space pack.
Despite the awfulness of our present age, this is what I want for the future, a sense of hope and evlovement of humanity...
I have been a Star Trek fan since the late 80s. I really enjoyed this theme song. Loved all the scenes of Earth making each step into space travel.
I still don't understand why people hate this theme. I unironically think it's the best theme of the entire Star Trek series. Especially with the intro visuals. It's just SO good. This Theme, plus the visuals is like, the perfect kind of thing to send out into space. It's the baby steps of human space exploration! How could you NOT like this theme??? it's fantastic. Different? Sure! But still amazing!
Edit: Some typos.
I fell in love with this song, S1 E1 of Enterprise. And it was a bit of getting used to the S2 take on the music. But I did.
Agreed. If people don't like it, it's because it's different than any other Star Trek theme song. Get used to it. Things evolve. Just like the song says.
@@henrylester and oddly and ironically, they never evolved.
It is the epoch of the good Star Trek.
This is the best! It's not only one of the most inspirational song ever but it's also impressive to see the generations of ships go further and further showing us how we evolve
It's beautiful it reminds us we can do everything possible and nothing is impossible. I quote from Picard to a undeveloped species who saw their technology : Nothing is out of our Reach, not even the stars
I've spent the last several years watching episodes of all the Star Trek series each night on UPN. After watching them for several months, I was very surprised to find that that I found the Enterprise series to be far and away, the second best Star Trek series ever, just behind the original Star Trek series. And the only reason I put the original series first, is because it deserves a lot of credit for being the first and bringing the concept to live, and covering a lot of social topics that were controversial when it came out in the '60s . The reason I love the Enterprise series so much is because it never had "trivial" episodes, where the show was dominated by romance themes ( ex. Riker and Troi), it never had "silly" episodes like Voyager devolving into Tim Paris playing Flash Gordon in the holodeck), and it was far superior to Deep Space Nine . Enterprise was gritty, with morally complex themes ( ex. Archer having to blow up a listening post of unarmed aliens in order to keep their presence secret while trying to find and stop the doomsday weapon from blowing up Earth ), and it showed how difficult it was to be in space , pretty much on your own , without a fleet of starships to help you out. The way Star Trek fans dissed this show and , in my opinion, are very closed minded about it , is a shame. They're missing out on an excellent series
I liked the nods to Apollo I, Challenger and 2001: A Space Odyssey.
Agreed, that shot of Gus Grissom gets me every time!
I love the Enterprise serie... its so special for starfleet and human being history.
Except for the last 2 episodes, I thought Star Trek Enterprise was great. Answered a lot of Questions. Learned the I.D. #,s of the U.S.S. Defiant, NCC-1764. Learned what kind of logo it had on the uniform. Damn! Jolene Blacklock looked sexy in a 60,s Go Go mini Defiant dress. Just watching her was worth the show.
You didn't like Terra Prime? Thought that was a great episode. I'm only sad they didn't end the show there. Instead we got the crappy These Are the Voyages.
It's such a shame that show got canceled just as it was Finding its footing they could have done the Romulan War and ended the last season with the signing of the Federation Charter
I've ALWAYS thought this song was PERFECT for the enterprise show. Since it was the FIRST ENTERPRISE. "ITS BEEN A LONG ROAD, GETTING FROM HERE TO THERE" is an acknowledgment of how far humanity has come from since we launched the Voyager satellites and.landed on the moon. It captures EVERYTHING the world felt at that time. It is my personal FAVORITE ST song.
Humanity? Americans invented aviation and still push the highest boundries of it.
What a wonderfully assembled video and what an inspiring song. Too bad we stopped being these people.
What you mean "we", kemosabe?
I, among others, am working night and day, on making this a reality.
Michael Rappaport sure we as a human race is on a plateau. But for every plateau, there's a mountain to conquer.
What is your job ? I'm just curious how do you making this a reality ?
he probably works in NASA
We're going to be these people again.
As I watch Enterprise, hearing This song reminds me of my late step sister. She never did like Star Trek but she learned to endure it. She would sing this song. And now when I hear it it brings me to tears. The words are so true.
Presently re-watching Star Trek Enterprise❤ I sing along to this every time 😁 it's a good song!
Except when they changed it in the 3rd season :P
Best Star Trek song ever.
It's awesome tribute to all that has traveled into space exploration from landing on the moon to the Challenger accident. God bless those who did. And God bless to Gene Rodenberry creating Star Trek and allowing us to image what it would to live in space. Live long and prosper.
The video visuals yes, the song?? Hell no...
Gritings from Poland 🇵🇱 the best Star trek, live long and Prosper Brother's😎
To jest troche nas o Polakach
A lot of people are critical of this song for being different than the orchestral songs of previous ST series, but the beginning, in particular, always gives me chills.
Star Trek Enterprise is my favorite Star Trek series
On currently watching Star Trek Enterprise on Horror Channel in the UK for the first time, (YES, in 2018, sorry!) I can honestly say it is my favourite Star Trek series, hands down. Not a bad episode in there up to Episode 20, Season 3. It is fantastic, and PHEW!, that heart-shuddering theme opening, awesome! Great acting and production values throughout from all involved. Epic stuff. Miss it, when it ends. Will have to chase up the DVDs from Series 1, to Series 5, fast.
I still love Enterprise but... its now my fourth favorite Star Trek series. Deep Space Nine is now #1, then its Next Generation, then Voyager, then Enterprise.
At this point in my life this song has meaning for me. I’ve always been afraid of change and risk because I’ve always been more terrified of failure than excited for the possibility of success. That wall seems to have finally crumbled and I am no longer afraid. At 41 I am finally ready to make serious changes in career and health. Kahless be praised.
I hope you're doing even better after these 3 years man
best god damn theme song in all star trek history.
Could be one of my favorite tunes . . i do not usually post here but I will say this... I started watching Star Trek at 3.. original series... been with me my whole life... which I am grateful
This song is so dear to my heart. I started working as a customer support at a company. I was treated very badly. Moved on from that job to another, becoming a marketing data analyst. The salary wasn't bad, but it wasn't good either. All this time, I studied hard, never gave up, following my dream. I always wanted to be a game developer and have my own company. I worked over 13 hours a day on Upwork, Fiver, all this time, listening to this song on repeat. Today, after 7 years, I have my own company, working on game development and still listening to this song - My time is finally near and this is the soundtrack that gave me all the motivation to do it! P.S. I'm a Star Trek geek too and I love it! :))
This is literally the theme song of the WORLD.
Hopefully
No...just...no
The world or U.S.A?
@@FQP-7024 meaning you hate world peace, because star trek want us united as species, so you break rodenberry rule
True
It is a very good song. I always enjoyed it.
Nice track, Number 1
Man... this hits hard. This series has grown on me so much. It's sad that it got all the hate it did. Probably my favorite out of the whole franchise.
You need to realize that around that time, people were starting to get sick of Star Trek.
Settle down, pinkskin.❤
I printed out the lyrics of this song several years ago when I was going through a trying time in my life. Reading it every day helped me get through it even after I was cried out of tears. Now I am going to do it again to get my psyched up to pass the LSAT test, go to law school and make something more out of my life!
Long Life, Success and Logic in your life.
(Another of the meaningful Vulcan sayings.
It's been a long load
We played this song in the both Gulf wars. Helped us home to the base every time
Love this song!!
This and T-pol were the best parts of the show.
Holy Gene Rodenberry's Ghost! This goes straight into my favorites, right this instant, because the additional footage so uttterly matches the extended song, that not only has it given me a case of the shivers, it almost made me cry!
I never completely understood why some so-called Star Trek fans disliked this song, but I believe their dislike for it is mostly based on human emotion and their preference towards traditional orchestral music, and not really about what the song means. This is after all the most logical theme song for a Star Trek show because it completely captures man's quest for space; not letting anyone get in the way because he has faith in himself and his abilities. (Now read that again in Spock's or Tuvok's voice)
The images itself give me chills, this is the best of humanity reaching the star and the music is full of hope
On November, 2017 I almost died from a massive ischemic stroke. As I began the long road to recovery into my new normal, a nurse/therapist would visit and play this song for me every day. It got me through those early days of learning to walk, read, talk, and write again. Now it's my favorite source of inspiration when I'm down and in doubt. Even today, I'm doing things people were saying I'd never do again.
This song is about not giving up. It's about daring to dream the impossible and accomplishing exactly that which we do not think is possible. Look beyond the horizon and go there. Live long and prosper.
I was going to post on this particular song and as I scrolled down, I read your thread and our cases are eerily similar. My stroke was also ischemic and happened 2 days before Xmas 2017. I heard this song when I would watch Enterprise in the hospital and later when I couldn't sleep at night when I was home. There are many lines from the song from which I still draw inspiration to this day. I figure I am looking at 7 year recovery and I work on it 6 days a week often for hours. I have the reading, talking, and writing back to normal. I am back driving and I have worked a little, although the limits are COVID related not stroke related. I am also doing things people were saying I'd never do like walking without a cane, which I started doing in April. I wo.uld love to hear an update on your recovery. Mine is really taking off in Year 5!
It's been a long road, getting there to here. (i always add NO DOUBT)
It's been a long time, but my time is finally near.
Been through the darkness. Now I finally have my day.
And I will see my dream come alive at last. I will touch the sky.
Cause I've got faith of the heart.
On of the best Star Trek Songs
Excellent theme song 👍
Sends a chill up my back every time I hear this song...
Mine too...Cheers, my FELLOW TRAVELER.
Once in a while, when my desperation about the current state of humanity grows to big, I come here.
Likewise.
The best "feel" Star Trek intro and series atmosphere period.
Enterprise was the first st series I ever watched (and i watched it with my family).
It is what got me into star trek. Thank you to the creators.
I know it is not universally liked, but i really loved it and I believe that it was getting beterr every season and that the romulan-eaeth war with thr creation of the federation would have been amazijg star trek and i am very sad that i never got to watch it.
Enterprise helped me through a difficult time.
This was a great song and I also think it was perfect for the Show. I've been watching reruns of all the various Star Trek shows, for the past several months, and I'm surprised to say that I think the 'Enterprise ' show was not only vastly underrated, but was probably the SECOND best Star Trek series ever, behind only the original series. I realize Trekkie's will cry 'blasphemy' at that statement, , but the Next Generation, as good as it was , had a lot of lame episodes, especially in the later years. And Voyager got pretty silly after 3 years, while Deep Space Nine was never very good. . The Enterprise series however, always had good episodes, an excellent cast, and it showed what I thought was a fairly realistic, gritty way, of how the Federation came to be and survive despite a lot of early challenges. It 's much much better than it was given credit for.
Yes! I'm glad we have the same feelings about TOS and Enterprise. Most people consider TNG to be the best and Enterprise to be the worst. I've always thought TOS was the best and Enterprise was right up there in 2nd place.
@@jerobriggs6861 yeah i think like you , the worst for me is deep space nine
@@pwayb.7857 To each their own. For me, it's DS9 > TNG > Enterprise > TOS/Voyager tied > Discovery
Yes
Voyager is the one that everybody always dissed when I was growing up. This show was just straight up forgotten. That said, Enterprise, TNG, Voyager, DS9 and the original series are unfortunately the only good Trek series we've managed to snag. I haven't been able to stomach much of the newer series. Especially those trash tier animated ones
oh... God, was so touching when I recognized the crew from Apollo 1, Challenger and Columbia, our heroes that assumed the risk and sacrified their lives while trying to go beyond 😢
From the first ships, to planes, to rockets, to shuttles, to space stations, to early starships, to the flight of the Phoenix, to the first warp ships, to the first warp 5 ship, the constitution class, to the excelsior class, to the ambassador class, to the galaxy glass to the sovereign class Enterprise E. It truly has been a long road.
Mr Star Trek himself, Gene. His dream to reach&explore space together. He was a racial for pushin the envelope on culture,science&tech. But he gave us warnings on using science&tech creatively. For the betterment of humanity.
watched the series for the first time right now, the theme song was not what I expected, but I like it.
Nice that they had the Columbia crew in this video - god rest their souls. I wonder where the next 1000 years will take us.
