Star Trek: Boldly Going For 60 Years

I have been a Star Trek fan all my life. This series taught us how to explore strange new worlds and to seek out new life and new civilizations. Gene Roddenberry gave us this gift that has changed the hearts and minds of many. This TV show gave birth to movies and TV prequels and sequels that have inspired and entertained millions.

Trek taught us infinite diversity in infinite combinations and to live long and prosper. I am thankful that I had heroes like Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Scotty, Uhura, Sulu, and Chekov to show me the way of being a nerd and that logic matters. This show has also given us Picard, Burnham, Janeway, Archer, Sisko, Freeman, Ake, and Pike. Thank you to everyone who has put on the uniform of Starfleet.

Tonight to celebrate, we are watching The Undiscovered Country which is the last movie with the original cast.

Boldly Go, It’s Star Trek Day

On September 8, 1966, Star Trek debuted for the first time on television with “The Man Trap,” the pilot episode of Star Trek: The Original Series.

This show has been a beacon of inclusion, logic, science and hope. I am proud to be a fan of this terrific TV show that has been so influential and inspirational for people all around the world.

May this show continue to encourage us to Live Long And Prosper.
