Star Trek vs Star Wars: William Shatner, Mark Hamill argue over franchise superiority after NASA spots Starfleet logo on Mars
William Shatner, Mark Hamill engaged in a Twitter banter over Star Wars and Star Trek after a geological feature resembling the Starfleet logo was captured by NASA
NASA's discovery of a highly unusual symbol on Mars sparked the age-ol' debate of what's better between Star Wars and Star Trek, and the battle was kickstarted by none other than Captain Kirk himself.
NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter recently captured the picture of a geological feature that seems starkly similar to Star Trek Starfleet logo.
William Shatner, who played Captain Kirk on the original Star Trek series, took the opportunity to take a jibe at the rival space adventure franchise. Shatner wrote on Twitter that Star Trek has beaten Star Wars.
Hey @starwars! Will you hurry up your Rebel Scums? We beat you! https://t.co/b53KxKlAlj
