On Thursday, Star Trek will turn 50 years old. It was on September 8, 1966, that the first episode of the original series aired on CBS, spawning one of the best-loved franchises in all of science fiction. To celebrate, io9 will spend this week looking back at 50 years of all things Trek with a Tribble-pile’s worth of features, essays, and more on Gene Roddenberry’s beloved creation
