The 55-Year Mission

The Gospel According to Star Trek Podcast

It's Star Trek Day! 55 years ago today, Star Trek premiered with the first broadcast of "The Man Trap, an episode neither produced nor intended as the series premiere. Mike and Kevin talk about that episode, plus what the premiere could have been with Star Trek's historic pair of pilots, "The Cage" and "Where No Man Has Gone Before," which are rife with implications about theology and what it means to be human--implications have remained part of Star Trek for 55 years and show no signs of being lost!
Plus, we share our thoughts on Star Trek: Lower Decks, Season 2, Episode 4, "Mugato Gumato," along with Star Trek News, our Star Trek Day wish lists, an audience question, and a response to our audience question from last week! It's a packed episode for a special day.
Happy Birthday, Star Trek!
