October 2015

    Work on the model for the Starship Enterprise began in early October, 1964 -- 51 years ago this week. 
     Based on Matt Jefferies’ detailed drawings, Richard Datin, a model builder, presented a small prototype of the Enterprise (pictured left) for Gene Roddenberry's inspection during the filming of "The Cage" at Desilu's Culver City back lot.   And the day the it was completed (pictured right).

    Think you know Star Trek? You don’t yet … unless you’ve read Marc Cushman’s Saturn Award winning three-volume series, These Are the Voyages, TOS [Star Trek: The Original Series]. Each book is 600 or more pages in length, with one book devoted to each of the original Star Trek’s broadcast seasons. Included are thousands of never-before unpublished memos from Gene Roddenberry, Robert Justman, Gene Coon, Dorothy Fontana, Fred Freiberger, John D.F. Black, and NBC, the Nielsen ratings for all the episodes, plus each episode’s  filming schedule, budget, and fan letters (from the 1960s), as well as over 1000 rare pictures in the three books. These Are the Voyages is a “biography of a television series” -- a time machine that will take you back to the 1960s to witness the writing, filming and first broadcasts of all the episodes of TOS.  Get your copies at the best price anywhere, and autographed by the author.
(Images in this book series – and there are over 1,000 -- are printed in black and white).
