Corrections:
- Grace says "America doesn't exist anymore," in the Star Trek original series universe. This is not strictly accurate. It's more correct to say that the United States do exist, but not as an independent political nation, in the same way that it does today. The USA is a member-state of a global, unified government (United Earth), which is in turn a member planet of the United Federation of Planets (Vulcan and other planets are members).
- Grace also says, "Money doesn't exist." This isn't strictly true either. The economy of the Star Trek universe is a hotly debated and nuanced topic. "Credits" exist in Star Trek: a kind of monetary unit used within the Federation and Starfleet. It's not clear how credits are earned or given. Some substances in Star Trek are rare and therefore valuable (dilithium, latinum, etc.), especially to other alien species, but they are not official currencies of Earth. In Star Trek, humans have evolved to pursue the betterment of the human race and personal development instead of the accumulation of wealth.
- The episode Grace can't think of is "Metamorphosis" (season 2, episode 9). (This is the first episode to feature Zefram Cochrane, creator of the warp drive, which leads to first contact with the Vulcans.)
