One of the most poignant is a promotional film theSmithsonian National Air and Space Museumfound in its archives.
It was filmed around the time of the first Star Trek movie, Star Trek: The Motion Picture.
Nichols wears a beige uniform like the ones from the movie, with the “belly warmer” accessory.
Nichols' own company, Women in Motion, co-produced the film.
Can they really tour galaxies like you do?"
At the end of the clip, Uhura calls for Scotty to beam her back to her own time.
The footage brings together many threads from Nichols' career.
She was an officer on the USS Enterprise.
She was a singer.
She helped recruit diverse applicants for NASA’s astronaut program.
She inspired children to look to space as scientists and as explorers.
As she sings in the film, “Just reach for your star every moment.”
