Happy Star Trek Day to all who celebrate, as the original series turns 59 today! From old to new, we love it all, so tell us your favorite series in the comments. Otherwise, remember two things: to live long and prosper, and to celebrate infinite diversity in infinite combinations!

Happy Star Trek TOS day! Being a fan of it for such a long time, It's no surprise it was the first cosplay I picked to make! It was also a blast shooting it at the famed Vasquez Rocks with @thekrystalmethod where Arena was also shot at. Who are some of your fave Star Trek characters? #tos #startrekcosplay #startrek #startrektos #latina #bodypositive #confident #poccosplay #startrekday #generoddenberry https://www.instagram.com/p/CTkrua0v-8-/?utm_medium=tumblr

Oh, and someone named Gene Roddenberry??

I hear today is Star Trek Day. We would not have this day if not for Lucille Ball. Here is an early exchange that occurred during a Desilu meeting regarding the creation of Star Trek. Lucy: “Herb, what’s happening with the South Seas series?’ Herb: “The what?” Lucy: “You know, Herb, that South Seas series you mentioned last time.” Herb: “South Seas series? Gee, Lucy, I wish I could remember, but I don’t recall any South Seas series, Are you su--?” Lucy: “Herb, of course, you talked about a South Seas series. With the USO entertainers who went there during the war to visit the troops!” Herb: “Lucy, perhaps it’s something I’ve forgotten, but for the life of me, I do not recall ever mentioning a series we have in development about a group of USO entertainers visiting our troops in the South Seas during World War II!” Lucy: “Oh yes you did Herb, You called it Star Trek!” 'Later, out of hearing of the others, I explained Start Trek to Lucy. And I realized what an honest and human mistake she made. After all, in Lucille Ball’s world, a star trek could mean only movie stars traveling somewhere in the world for the USO to visit troops. The South Seas was as good a place as any.'—Inside Star Trek' by Herbert Solow and Robert H.
