Star Trek has been on my mind lately. Over the last week, many of my UFO, alien and alien technology discussions seem to evoke the series in one way or another. Additionally, William Shatner disclosed in an interview the other day that he believes in aliens, but not UFOs.

It doesn’t surprise me that Shatner believes in aliens.  Shatner’s Captain Kirk got to make out with the sexiest aliens in the universe during the series run. Certainly, those episodes made many male Trekkies extremely hopeful for the existence of female extraterrestrial life, too.

I realized that it was 44 years ago today that the show debuted on NBC. On September 8, 1966, television viewers climbed aboard the starship Enterprise, to boldly go where no man has gone before.

The opening line, “to boldly go where no man has gone before,” was taken almost verbatim from a US White House booklet on space produced after the Sputnik flight in 1957. – Wikipedia

If you are itching to watch the Star Trek intro in order to pay homage to one of the greatest shows in television history, I’ve included a version from YouTube.
