Q: What is the difference between "Trekkie" and "Trekker"? A:It would be better if there weren't one. In the early 70s "Trekkies" became a commonly known name for Star Trek fans. But it later earned a degrading undertone, also because of the similarity of "Trekkie" with "junkie" or "groupie". Whenever someone who does not like Star Trek talks about...

It means “to” or “toward”. Its use as “to” is done when the dative does not make sense. For example, astris by itself would be taken as the ablative, so you say “ad astra” to avoid that mixup. That is why we have the phrase “ad astra” rather than “astris”.
The motto of the fictional Starfleet Academy on Star Trek. Adapted from ex luna scientia, which in turn was modeled after ex scientia tridens.
