Space:  The Final Frontier.....These are the voyagers of the Starship Enterprise.....It's 5 year mission (which turned into 35 years, 4 television series and 9 motion pictures) to explore strange and new worlds.  To seek out new life and new civilizations.  To boldly go where no man has gone before.

What is STAR TREK?

STAR TREK began in 1966 as a science fiction television show created by Gene Roddenberry. Almost 35 years, four television series, and nine theatrical releases later, STAR TREK is as alive and strong as ever. Although Star Trek's primary mission has always been to entertain, in the process it has become a phenomenon in and of itself. The combination of Star Trek and its loyal fans are much more than the sum of the parts; together, they represent a distinctive element in popular culture.

In addition to being terrific entertainment, STAR TREK may attribute its longevity and popularity to its optimistic vision of a future in which humankind not only prospers, but has also fostered a world of peace and equality for all -- certainly a desirable and uplifting outlook.

Achievement of the vision presented in STAR TREK may at times seem unattainable to those of us locked into this century, but as more than one Star Trek captain has said, "There are always possibilities." Perhaps it is hope for those possibilities that reinforces the appeal of Star Trek.
