On Sept. 8, one of the most enduring franchises in TV and movie history celebrates its 50th birthday. Star Trek debuted on NBC in 1966, developed by Roddenberry, a former Los Angeles cop who wanted to make a TV series that could sneak past the rampant escapism of most programs back then.
Star Trek is a national treasure. It taught us to dream and to be bold in seeking out a better future. I have been a fan for years and I salute every person who has been a part of this amazing journey. Live Long And Prosper.
