    Paramount Plus also announced that the feature-length documentary
    "Woman in Motion: Nichelle Nichols, Star Trek and the Remaking of
    NASA" will begin streaming on June 3.

    The news was revealed by Mica Burton, moderator of the "Women In
    Motion" panel. Directed by Todd Thompson, the documentary features
    the remarkable and inspiring true story of how the "Star Trek"
    actress transformed her sci-fi television stardom into a real-life
    science career.

    In 1977, Nichols embarked on a campaign to bring diversity to
    NASA. She formed the company Women In Motion, Inc. and recruited
    more than 8,000 African American, Asian and Latino women and men
    for the agency. Nichols and her program continue to influence the
    younger generation of astronauts as well, including Mae Jemison,
    the first female African American astronaut in space.

    In addition to Nichols, "Woman in Motion" features notable
    celebrities, activists, scientists and astronauts including Neil
    deGrasse Tyson, George Takei, Pharrell Williams, Martin Luther
