A total of 934 Star Trek fans gathered at London's Science Museum on Tuesday to set a new Guinness World Record for the largest simultaneous Vulcan salute. This event marked Star Trek Day and the 60th anniversary of the iconic science fiction franchise. To achieve the record, participants had to hold the Vulcan salute for one minute. The attempt was verified by Guinness World Records adjudicator Paulina Sapinska, who then presented the official certificate to Ben Lheureux, the Science Museum’s commercial operations director. Dr. Glyn Morgan, the Science Museum’s head of collections and principal curator, expressed enthusiasm about the achievement, emphasizing that the event aimed to celebrate the anniversary in a memorable way. Actor Martin Quinn, who plays Montgomery "Scotty" Scott in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, took part in the event and shared that he plans to display his Guinness World Record certificate in his brother’s room. The Vulcan salute attempt was part of a larger event called Star Trek Lates, which is part of the museum’s program celebrating 60 years of the Star Trek franchise. The event included the Star Trek Warp Trail, a special tour that guides visitors through themed displays at the Science Museum’s South Kensington site. Among the items on display were the uniform worn by Simon Pegg as Scotty in the 2009 Star Trek film and Admiral Jean-Luc Picard’s outfit from Star Trek: Picard. The Vulcan salute, first introduced in a 1967 episode of the original Star Trek series, is performed by holding up the right hand with the palm facing forward while separating the middle and ring fingers. It is often accompanied by the spoken greeting "Live long and prosper," a phrase made famous by Leonard Nimoy’s character, Spock. The Star Trek Warp Trail will remain open at the museum until September 13.
