Descriptionof Inspired Enterprise. How NASA, the Smithsonian, and the Aerospace Community Helped Launch Star Trek
Manufacturer

"Star Trek" creator Gene Roddenberry wanted to create a work of science fiction that would captivate viewers not only with sophisticated storylines and modern visual effects, but also by presenting the story in a scientific and technological context that would be believable. To this end, Roddenberry, a former World War II fighter pilot, used his connections in the aerospace industry to find the latest and greatest technology. This book, written by Glen E. Swanson, former chief historian of NASA's Johnson Space Center, uncovers how NASA, the Smithsonian, and the aerospace industry helped shape, legitimise, and popularise the popular television series Star Trek. Further context is provided by discussing additional factors in the series' success, including merchandising and syndication.
