It's never too early to teach your kids about Star Trek! In week 23 fetuses begin to be able to hear. The sounds they hear while in the womb have been shown to calm babies down when they are repeated after they are born. Using this logic, reading to your baby about Star Trek while close to the womb will result in them being comforted by similar readings later on.
Star Trek has a positive message about our species and its future, a rare thing in popular media. Star Trek also teaches kids valuable STEM skills, (Science, Technology, Engineering, Math) which are excellent primers for rewarding and solid careers later on.
There's really no downside! Start in week 23 and live long and prosper.

While I agree with jxross about the illogic of a human female being in close proximity of a Trekkie, I do agree with the author about the rarity and value of a popular show giving a hopeful future and positive view of science. (Even if that science has air quotes around it).
As a side note I had all those books when I was young, and now miss them terribly.
Re: "Science" agreed, the science isn't pure, but it's not as far from reality as one might think.
There is no way that anyone that fanatical about Star Trek is going to get close enough to an actual living human female to ever find themselves with an unborn child!
I was inspired by this parody of a PSA using Star Wars along the same lines.
My wife wanted me to read to my daughter when she was still in the oven but my wife was not a big fan of the "Soldiers manual of common tasks book"
