Some people use hard scifi to mean consistent with its established rules, other people use it to mean consistent with our current knowledge of physics. Star Trek isn't either.

Hard Sci fi would be more like The Expanse or maybe The Martian. Trek is just regular SciFi.

The fun one is Star Wars, which is more Fantasy than SciFi
