STAR TREK DAY | September 8

#startrekday

On September 8, 1966, a television series pilot named Star Trek was first broadcast on American television. This was the first time a scientific fiction series would explore morality through scientific narratives, Aiming for an adult audience. Most movies or television shows will feature science, but they will often have conflict of poverty and injustice to solve problems. However, Star Trek was different. The series will bring scientists into the forefront of scientific discovery, while still providing nonviolent solutions to problems that do not use violence.

On today's date, creator gene roddenberry's dream to create a storyline of intergalactic drama full of diversity, acceptance, and hope became a reality
