Text of oath
With the way that the speaking of the oath was presented, I'm almost certain that it was not what is presented in the article ("Space the final frontier... etc). There was a significant voice cut between the ceremony and the launching of the Enterprise. The impression given at the ceremony was that the oath was a standard thing, and not specific to the mission at hand, especially since he discussed repeating the oath that he had originally taken, etc. -- sulfur (talk) 13:13, May 20, 2013 (UTC)
- Kirk's speech in the movie specifically mentions "Those words... Space, the final frontier...". The dialogue is pretty clear that Kirk is reciting the Oath. 219.42.51.146 13:15, May 20, 2013 (UTC)
Yes, one follows the other, but the sound of the voice is significantly different from one scene to the next, and there is no good reason to believe that the oath would be significant to a mission rather than to the general ideal. -- sulfur (talk) 13:24, May 20, 2013 (UTC)
from what i saw it as we don't know what the captain's oath is. the whole "Space, the final frontier..." speech following Kirk's speech felt like it was starting a new scene. Jkirk8907 (talk) 19:38, June 5, 2013 (UTC)
