What can I say? On the bridge of this ship lies Home. This thing was a phenomenon, way ahead of it's time in both ideals and
implementation. I don't need to say a lot here, Star Trek has made it's place on so many
levels and is every-day familiar to such great numbers, there's nothing I can
say that someone - or several someones - hasn't already at least thought of.
So what I will say is that if I could
have, I'd have been on that first voyage, and every one following it. Gene
Roddenberry had a vision and managed to bring it to Hollywood and keep it
intact, from it's scifi premise to it's at that point unheard of mix of human
characters. My appreciation to Mr Roddenberry, to the original actors, who will
always be my own crew, and to all of those who have endeavored to keep the ideal
alive. The death of the original ship was painful. But as with anything that
good it never really 'dies'. The Enterprise still plies the heart and mind
realms of Space, that Final Frontier!
