Fifty years ago, in September 1966, Star Trek was born.
The television show was set in the future and was about the crew of the USS Enterprise, which was on a five-year mission of space exploration. Week after week, fans watched Captain James T. Kirk and his crew "boldly go where no man has gone before."
In real life, the era of space exploration has been underway since 1957 with Sputnik’s launch in Russia, and it was in full swing with Neil Armstrong’s lunar walk in 1969.
Star Trek used the stars as a blank canvas to tackle some of the huge societal changes of the time. Series creator Gene Roddenberry was a progressive, and his ideas were considered pretty radical for the times. By placing his show in space, he safely tackled concepts like civil rights, women’s rights, population control and the ethics of war at a time when American troops were fighting in Vietnam.
It didn't hurt that the show featured some of the best-ever cool tech. Michael Caruso, organizer of The Future is Here Festival, sponsored by Smithsonian magazine in Washington, says the show's innovations influenced real-life science.
