On a happier note:

September 8, 1966: Star Trek debuts on NBC.

 

We only had a black and white TV in 1966. I didn't see Star Trek in color until the season 3 opener (Spock's Brain) in 1968.

 

Its a shame my enterprise haynes manual t-shirt did not arrive today that would have been a bit spooky. I still live by scotty's "the right tool for the right job" quote and extending the time I estimate it takes for me to do something by x2.

Star trek is the 2nd longest running sci-fi show only bested by a certain type 40 time machine thief which aired on 30th Nov '63.

 

Happy Birthday!
