Starship U.S.S. Enterprise 1701 Creators
Gene Roddenberry is worshipped thoughout the Trek Universe because he's the Star Trek Creator. During Gene's time faithful trekkers beamed in to conventions from all over the universe to see him. Happy trekkers shared the space time continuum with an imaginative sci fi mind, who assimulated Edgar Rice Burroughs's Mars novels and Science Fiction in the Astounding Stories magazine growing up. Gene was also motivated by Arthur C. Clarke's Profiles of the Future which examines "space drives, warped space, and instantaneous transportation."
In a letter to Issac Asimov, Gene revealed to his lifelong friend that Star Trek came very near to breaking his health. "Its so much my baby that I could'nt confine myself to ten or twelve hour work days" which led to " me often working through several nights in a row without ever going home to sleep" Gene's passion made him sacrifice his life for Star Trek. The next time you see Kirk or Worf beating the spuds out of some bad alien guy, think of the poor writer guy who spent hours composing the sci fi story. It does'nt always follow that just because writers get paid for writing a great submission that all their ideas will be used.
On a upbeat note, trekkers and sci fi fans get really amped when watching star trek. Starfleets starships explore the infinite reaches of space on tv every day. Earth is being assimulated with trekkiedom spreading everywhere across the earthling planet. The five Tv series TOS, TNG, VOY, DS9, Enterprise and the animated show. Thats over six hundred episodes dudes!!! and dont forget the ten feature films with star trek XI in the pipeline for early 2009. Heres a Sci-Fi mystery, who's the second star trek creator? or perhaps I should say starship creator? I have'nt overlooked the fact that the starship U.S.S. Enterprise was Gene Roddenberry's idea but in order for the show to reach for the stars and the fans, it needed a flash powerful starship. The Enterprise Creator is'nt widely publicized but Spacerguy has uncovered that the U.S.S. Enterprise 1701 was designed by Walter "Matt" Jeffries. One of earths genuine trekkie talents.
Live Long and Prosper Trekkers!!
