- TriviaUna mentions that "Ad Astra Per Aspera" was the motto of Starfleet before the founding of the Federation. The insignia for Starfleet Command, on both arm patches and flags, on Star Trek: Enterprise (2001) consisted of a yellow arrowhead on a blue round star background, which was framed by a thick gray inner border and a thin red outer border. Inside the gray border, there were more white stars and the Latin words "Ad Astra Per Aspera".

Spock: Yes, I did get the sense that she was hiding something?
Captain Batel: What was she hiding?
Spock: An affinity for Gilbert and Sullivan musicals.

Star Trek Is Best When It Touches A Nerve
'Ad Astra Per Aspera' is Star Trek holding a mirror to our society (social criticism), a direct reflection of who we are, and a prescription for who we can be (for the better). That mirror has been part of Star Trek from the beginning and this episode does a great job of giving us a close up look, showing every blemish. Court room episodes have been used many times in Star Trek to make a point, and I believe 'Ad Astra Per Aspera' will stand beside 'The Measure of a Man', and 'The Drumhead' as one of the best.
To those who don't want to look in that mirror, I remind them that Gene Roddenberry once said, "Star Trek was an attempt to say that humanity will reach maturity and wisdom on the day that it begins not just to tolerate, but take a special delight in differences in ideas and differences in life forms."
I think Roddenberry would be very proud of this episode.
