Flint is unquestionably the oldest human who ever lived, but he is likely dead at this point in the canon. Dr. McCoy discovered that Flint's immortality was tied to some inherent quality of the planet Earth.
The oldest I'm aware of was Admiral Leonard McCoy in the first TNG episode: no time travel, no transporter shenanigans, no cryogenic sleeper ships, just a healthy lifestyle and the best medical care Starfleet could provide and he lived to be at least 137 years young.
The Vedala were discovered around the middle of the 23rd century (in the year 2268 or 2269), and are recognized by the Federation as the oldest surviving race capable of interstellar space travel. The Vedala space was encountered in Quadrant 1 near the Gamma 7A star system of the Milky Way Galaxy.
Star Trek: Discovery achieving season 5 makes it the longest-running Star Trek TV series since Star Trek: Voyager bowed out with 7 seasons in 2001. Star Trek: Lower Decks season 5 is also coming later in 2024 and matches Discovery, although, hopefully, it won't be the final season of Lower Decks.
How old is Captain Picard in Star Trek Next Generation? The character Picard was 59 when TNG debuted. Picard was deliberately fashioned as “older and wiser” as opposed to Kirk who was 34. Someone more mature and experienced - not a “space cowboy” - to command the 1000+ crew of the Federation flagship.
Kirk was born in 2233 which was canonized in both Star Trek (2009) and the TOS episode, “The Deadly Years,” where he said he was 34 years old, and that episode took place in 2267. Spock was born on stardate 2230.06, or in the Earth year of 2230 which was canonized on Star Trek: Beyond on Ambassador Spock's obituary.
Which actor has appeared in the most Star Trek episodes?
Dorn played the character regularly from 1987 to 2002, appearing in four films and 272 television episodes. Dorn has had more episode appearances than any other actor in the franchise's main cast. In 1952, Dorn was born in Luling, Texas.
Captain Kirk was in command of the USS Enterprise between 2265 and 2293, which is 28 years. However, Kirk took early retirement at some point in the rough nine-year period between the events of Star Trek: The Motion Picture and Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.
Changelings had an expected life span of at least several centuries. (DS9: "Emissary", "The Search, Part II") However, the female changeling noted that changelings were "timeless" and thus may never die of old age.
Synths like Data or Soji from Picard are also able to do things that seem like magic, though they retain their corporeal form. Since one of the main tenets of Star Trek isn't just the acquisition of knowledge but sharing it, androids and other sentient computers are likely the smartest beings out there.
The Ba'Ku (Insurrection) and Gideons seem to be very close to human, and live indefinitely due to technology on their planet, but presumably would age normally anywhere else. Vulcans live at least 200 years. Axanar live about 400 years. El-Aurians (Guinan) seem to live at least 500 years.
What is the average lifespan of a human in Star Trek?
According to the Star Trek canon, the average human lifespan will reach 100 years during the early 22nd century. By the mid-24th century, the mean crested 120 years. This gradual increase in longevity is mostly thanks to advanced medical technology.
Who was the youngest captain in Starfleet history?
Kirk became Starfleet's youngest starship captain after receiving command of the USS Enterprise for a five-year mission, three years of which are depicted in the original Star Trek series.
Who is the longest running character in Star Trek?
The most obvious choice is Michael Dorn, who played Lt. Commander Worf for all seven seasons of Star Trek: The Next Generation, the last four seasons of Star Trek: Deep Space Nine and all four of the Next Generation feature films, plus a brief cameo in Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country.
Dorn has appeared more times as a regular cast member than any other Star Trek actor in the franchise's history, spanning five films and 284 television episodes. Luling, Texas, U.S.
Who is the only person to have ever had a cameo in a Star Trek TV episode as themself?
Stephen Hawking - Scientist, who played a holodeck version of himself on the Next Generation episode "Descent" (thus becoming the only person in a Star Trek episode or film credited as "Himself").
Is there anything wrong with Scotty in Star Trek? Yes. His middle finger on his right hand is missing. Actor James Doohan lost the finger while participating in the D-Day invasion during World War II with a Canadian infantry unit.
The easiest answer is 'Q is the smartest,' being a near-omnipotent godlike being. He technically would be classed as the smartest as he literally knows everything (with the one exception of why he is dying in Picard season 2).
The beloved Vulcan's full name is officially S'Chn T'Gai Spock. The name actually comes from a popular fan work-turned novel for The Original Series in Barbara Hambly's Ishmael which was published in 1985.
In order to demonstrate how close they truly were, and how much Kirk had “humanized” Spock, they would have him use the diminutive of James, which is Jim. This is a name used by those close to the Captain or in intimate moments of friendship.
Sadly, Spock died without ever siring an heir, and in Star Trek canon, neither Kirk nor Spock got to have descendants to carry on their adventures and save the galaxy.
