Background information

John F Kennedy

A sketch of John F. Kennedy

Retroactive continuity: John F. Kennedy was the 35th President of the United States from 1961 to 1963. He was succeeded by Lyndon B. Johnson. A 20th century-era sketch, with accompanying text, of him was stored in the USS Enterprise library computer in 2254. This sketch was among the materials viewed by the Talosians when they scanned the Enterprise computer. (TOS: "The Cage")

In the script of the Star Trek: Deep Space Nine episode "The Homecoming", the writers likened the Bajoran response to the arrival of Li Nalas to Deep Space 9 to that of a hypothetical re-appearance of JFK thirty years after his assassination. The script states that "it's as if JFK had survived Dallas and suddenly appeared on a public street 30 years later". [1]

Peter Lawford, one of the real-life Vegas entertainers mentioned in the Bashir 62 holoprogram, was Kennedy's brother-in-law in 1962, when the program is meant to take place.

The Star Trek teaser trailer uses a portion of Kennedy's 1961 speech ("The eyes of the world now look into space.") Co-writer Roberto Orci argued Kennedy was an influence on the original character of James T. Kirk. [2]

Gene Roddenberry proposed a plot for the early drafts of Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan, Star Trek III: The Search for Spock, and Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home where the Enterprise crew went back in time to stop the Klingons from stopping JFK's assassination. (Jeanne M. Dillard, Star Trek - Where No One Has Gone Before, pg. 71; William Shatner and Chris Kreski, Star Trek Movie Memories, pgs. 161-162)
