IT MAY have seemed rather unlikely in the early 1970s but Star Trek has reached its 50th birthday as a going concern.
The original series was cancelled three years into its five-year mission to explore strange new worlds, come up against strange, godlike energy beings, fight rubber monsters and present an optimistic vision of the future.
But the series grew in popularity through endless reruns and obsessive fans, eventually returning as an animated series and then in a bunch of films, new series, books, towels, mugs and the occasional duvet.
