Star Trek: The Original Series 40th Anniversary


Star Trek began in the early 1960's as an idea in the mind of Gene Roddenberry, a World War II veteran and former L.A. policeman who had become an established television writer/producer and was determined to bring his vision of a serious, thoughtful science fiction drama to the air. Pitched as "Wagon Train to the stars," Star Trek, after a few false starts, became a reality in 1966 in primetime on NBC.

40 Years later, four more television series, 10 theatrical movies, hundreds of books and magazines, and innumerable Internet fan sites Star Trek lives on.
