50 years ago today

I was 5 years old and had just watched the first airing of the first episode of the science fiction TV series Star Trek the night before. Went to school (kindergarten) and was bubbling at school about how cool it was. Live long and prosper etc.
They said I was "Lost in Space". Them bastards had no idea how big it would become.
Had Bo Trimble not led the huge letter-writing campaign the series Star Trek might not have ever made it to season three. This is significant because had it not been for season three the series never would have made it to syndication where it gathered an even larger audience and following than it had originally had at NBC.
Tomorrow is an all day Star Trek marathon. Oh yeah. Football? Hunting? I'll be watching Star Trek, drinking Klingon beer, and eating some Vulcan food.
