An Inspired Enterprise - A History of Star Trek with Glen Swanson

Were you inspired by "Star Trek" (or one of its innumerable spinoffs) as a young person? We know we were, so it was a pleasure to invite Glen Swanson, author of the new Star Trek history book "Inspired Enterprise" onto the show. We've all heard lore about the original series, but Swanson, who was previously the Chief Historian at the Johnson Space Center, used his prodigious skills to perform a deep dive into the topic. From Gene Roddenberry's original inspiration to working with Caltech, the RAND Corporation, and NASA; and on to the design of the good ship Enterprise itself (and the very popular AMT models that followed), this book provides everything you need to know to be a certified Trekker. Headlines: • Comet 3I Atlas confirmed as a comet, not a spacecraft & NASA releases new images and details of the comet • SpaceX's Starship Version 3 booster suffers damage during test • Uranus reaches yearly opposition—best viewing opportunity Main Topic: The Real Inspirations Behind Star Trek • Glen Swanson shares career highlights as a NASA historian and magazine founder • How Gene Roddenberry's background and influences shaped Star Trek • NASA's direct involvement and technical guidance for Star Trek's creators • The significant role of the aerospace industry, Rand Corporation, and real-world science in Star Trek's development • The story behind NASA and the Smithsonian Enterprise shooting model connections • AMT's plastic model kits fueled fan obsession and supported the show's visuals • Influences from movies like Robinson Crusoe on Mars and Forbidden Planet • Space Station K7 design’s origins traced to NASA and Douglas Aircraft concepts • Star Trek’s impact on inspiring real-life astronauts and the space community • Glen Swanson's book, "Inspired Enterprise," and how you can get a signed copy Hosts: Rod Pyle and Tariq Malik Guest: Glen Swanson This Week in Space Episode 187 More Info: https://twit.tv/shows/this-week-in-sp...
