Daniels mentioned that Archer was thinking of time travel like an H.G. Wells novel. He said that in real life, it's much more complicated.
Charles Tucker read The War of the Worlds as a child. (ENT: "Similitude")
Upon her revival in the 24th Century, Amelia Earhart, unconvinced of what she was hearing about the USS Voyager, stated that space travel was purely science fiction, such as the work of Wells. (VOY: "The 37's")
In the 29th century, Starfleet named a starship class after him. (VOY: "Future's End, Part I")
The USS Thunderchild was named after a ship in Wells' The War of the Worlds, the USS Thunder Child.
