Star Trek's 50th anniversary

While it wasn't the very first episode of Star Trek, The Man Trap was the first episode that began the legendary journey of the U.S.S. Enterprise and her crew on this day, September 8, in 1966.

Fifty years later, Star Trek is still with us, and just as vital as ever. All this time, the series has kept pointing the way forward, always promising us a bright future ahead--we just had to believe in it.

Happy 50th Anniversary, Star Trek. May you continue to boldly go.
