8 September 1966. NBC-TV broadcast the first episode of the original Star Trek series. Its two biggest stars were Captain James T. Kirk (William Shatner), and First Officer and Science Officer Spock (Leonard Nimoy). It promised a 5 year mission, but it only lasted for three. pic.twitter.com/2O8olHmX5M
