The Science Museum in London is attempting to break a Guinness world record for simultaneous Vulcan salutes to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the Star Trek series. The event is scheduled for next week and is expected to gather a large number of fans of the franchise.

The Vulcan salute, with the hand raised and the middle and ring fingers together, is an iconic gesture from the Star Trek series, popularized by the character Spock. The 60th anniversary celebration has been bringing together enthusiasts from around the world for various activities related to the franchise.

The museum decided to associate itself with this record attempt as a way to mark the historic occasion. The organizers hope to surpass the number of participants required to break the current record, which involves the simultaneous participation of people performing the Vulcan salute.

The event at the Science Museum in London represents one of the main celebrations of the 60th anniversary of Star Trek in the United Kingdom, bringing together fans of all ages in a tribute to the series that has become a worldwide cultural phenomenon.
