Summary
Spock tells Kirk about his planet long before they go. He is logical and straightforward, listing the objective facts, but Kirk knows what he means. When Spock says, “The temperature is significantly higher than Earth’s,” he means that sometimes the Enterprise gets cold, and he misses home. “A dry heat,” he assures Kirk, and Kirk knows it means that Spock can’t stand humidity. “The sands were always red,” and that’s why it’s Spock’s favorite color. “Near my home there was a Korian tree, and it was only in bloom five days a year,” so Spock sends a communication to his mother every year on those days and asks how the tree is doing. It’s a very beautiful picture that Spock paints with facts and numbers.
When Spock asks Kirk about Earth, about Iowa, all Kirk can describe are the stars.

Summary
Jim Kirk is a small-town smartass from Iowa trying to find some purpose in life by roadtripping across America. Along the way he picks up a soft-spoken boy from Boston with a complicated relationship with his parents- not to mention a talent with a chessboard- and a good ol’ country doctor from Georgia, still bitter about losing the custody battle.
They bump into some others along the way. The beautiful singing voice in the motel room next to theirs belongs to an adventurous hitchhiker with several languages under her belt. The night shift mechanic who tows the remains of Jim’s first car comes along for the ride. His roommate would rather put his skills to the test driving cross-country than delivering pizzas. And the Russian whiz kid they pick up in Colorado is the only one who can read the goddamn maps.
