Boldly go to…Iowa? On this day in 1966, the landmark American science fiction television series Star Trek premiered with its first-aired episode, The Man Trap. The show, set in the Milky Way galaxy during the 2260s, was led by Captain James T. Kirk of Riverside, Iowa. In the 1980s, the enterprising town of Riverside, located 15 miles south of Iowa City, was proclaimed the “future birthplace of Captain James T. Kirk.” Only 242 years until the big birthday celebration. Live long and prosper. — withTheodore W. Gyi.
