Add a CommentAttention, all you SyFy enthusiasts - You really don't have to be a die-hard fan of TV's "Star Trek" in order to enjoy this particular science-documentary.
In this 90-minute presentation - The Smithsonian Institute pays respectful homage to Star Trek which first aired on prime-time television 50 years ago.
To be sure - Star Trek was clearly a SyFy program that was (in many ways) ahead of its time.
This first-rate presentation takes space-travel technology to a whole new level - "Where no man has gone before".
"Space - The Final Frontier."
This often-intriguing, 90-minute technology-documentary from the Smithsonian Channel proudly commemorates the 50-year anniversary of Star Trek which first made its TV debut back in 1966.
Through interviews, stills, and archival footage - "Building Star Trek" tells the curios viewer, plain and simple, all about what space travel dreams are made of.
Throughout this informative presentation we are shown how modern-day space-travel technology is clearly striving to emulate the SyFy/Fantasy gadgetry of Star Trek.
All-in-all - "Building Star Trek" is definitely well-worth a view whether you are a die-hard fan of the classic, iconic TV series, or not.
Would you like to see how close 'they' are to making Star Trek a reality? This is the video for you!
Covers a variety of Star Trek topics: props, science, science geeks, actors, fans and more related to the show. Entertaining enough to watch. Primary coverage is of the EMP exhibit in Seattle and adding the Enterprise to the Smithsonian.
