NASA posthumously honors Star Trek creator
At a ceremony at the National Air & Space Museum in Washington, NASA presents Majel Barrett Roddenberry with the NASA Distinguished Public Service Medal honoring her late husband, Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, who died in 1991. Roddenberry is lauded by NASA administrator Dan Goldin for “presenting the exploration of space as an exciting frontier” in both Star Trek and Star Trek: The Next Generation.
Time Trax
The national syndication window opens for the two-hour premiere of Time Trax, co-created by Star Trek movie producer Harve Bennett, and starring Dale Midkiff. Mia Sara, Henry Darrow, and Peter Donat also star. The series, filmed entirely in Australia, is one of the premiere offerings of the Warner Bros./Chris-Craft Television joint venture PTEN (Prime Time Entertainment Network), an attempt to create an ad-hoc “fifth network” out of independent and Fox stations.
