How you know all this stuff — he's amazing. Everybody can, like, you know, just do fact-checking live on AI as they hear this episode recorded.
But before we jump in, uh, we have a special anniversary today. Um, on this day in 1966, 60 years ago, NBC aired the original series of Star Trek, premiering an episode called The Man Trap. Star Trek was, of course, created by Gene Roddenberry. I wish I had met him. I never did. Uh, who brought the concept to Desilu Productions, the Hollywood studio run by Lucille Ball, you know, from I Love Lucy, back in 1964. Desilu produced the pilots and then, with Lucy's backing, helped get the series on air. Mega congrats to CBS, who is carrying the legacy forward, and to my dear friend Rod Roddenberry, the son of Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek.
And Rod's going to be at Moonshots Live.
And to celebrate this anniversary, I've asked all of the mates to pick their favorite original series episode. Um, I'm going to kick us off uh with uh my favorite — uh, not my favorite episode, my favorite clip uh from Star Trek. Uh, and it's a clip that has my favorite quote from Captain Kirk. I'm going to go ahead and play it uh and then we'll go around the horn here. So, uh, this is from the 20th episode on, uh, season 2 — actually season 1. Here we go.
[Star Trek clip plays: Kirk answers Dr. McCoy's objection to contact with a far more advanced intelligence, and closes with "Risk is our business."]
