Category: MEDIA
Star Trek, the television series was launched. The USS Enterprise,  piloted by William Shatner, playing Captain James T. Kirk rocketed into space.  In the first episode, Captin Kirk and his team beam down to the surface of planet M-113 where they encounter Dr. Robert Crater and his wife Nancy, who claim they only need 'salt tablets'.  The plot only gets more complicated,and more exciting, after that.
