16 Stories About Space: The Final Frontier! – A Star Trek Day Story Roundup!
Dear readers,
On September 8th, 1966, the very first episode of a little TV show called ‘Star Trek’ aired for the first time ever! Introducing the world to the concept of infinite diversity in infinite combinations among the stars, but with phasers and aliens and miniskirts!
For the last few years, September 8th has been called ‘Star Trek Day’, and so to celebrate (and because most of the NAR team are die-hard Trekkies, in case you couldn’t tell from some of our story titles) the occasion, we’ve rounded up sixteen stories from the Not Always Right archives about all things space, and the final frontier!
Please enjoy, and remember to live long and prosper! 🖖
