57 years ago, a Thursday, NBC aired the first episode of a new space show that would go on to transform society in ways big and small, inspire 11 spin-off series, several movie franchises and whole reams of novels, models, tie-ins and more.
It started as a pitch for " 'Wagon Train' to the stars" but became whole detailed fictional universes inspiring our own real one with a promise that we'll figure this all out and we'll be the better for it. That there's a whole universe out there.

@adwright My parents watched that first season of Star Trek, so I did too as a child and loved it, but that episode with the creature that had sucker tipped fingers freaked me out pretty badly

The first episode I saw was "The Enemy Within". Mum said there was this space show she thought I might enjoy. I was the kid used to write NASA and they'd treat me like an adult and send me these huge press release packs full of tech. That shit was like blood transfusions to middle of Hell me.
So I watched evil and good Kirk duke it out and I wasn't sure what to make of it but I was there next week. I built the AMT Enterprise model not long after. :)
