Infographic – 45 Years of ‘Star Trek’

This month marked the 45th anniversary of Star Trek, as creator Gene Roddenberry launched the original television show on September 8, 1966. Of course on September 8^th last week, I was on my way to the Toronto International Film Festival so I just couldn’t find the time to post this info-graphic. Late is better than never, and I am pretty sure there are many SOS readers who haven’t seen it yet. The info-graphic does a fine job recapping the history of the show with a handful of interesting facts. Click on the image to get a larger view. Enjoy!
