To Boldly Go Where No One Has Gone Before ...

Star Trek changed the world. Metallic data disks sparked the invention of the CD. Communicators gave scientists the idea for mobile phones. Tricorders led to the PDA. Even those red doors that whisked open on Captain Kirk's approach led to technology evident every time you enter a store.

Beyond the exciting technology, Star Trek intrigued us with its vision of an altruistic universe of harmony and equality. An interracial and interspecies cast exhibited tolerance and acceptance. Women were equal, holding positions of power and respect. For generations we watched and were inspired by a future in which humanity had banded together to overcome its frailties.

When Star Trek first hit the airwaves in 1966, no one could have predicted the success, popularity, longevity, or profitability of Gene Roddenberry's futuristic universe. County Stamp Center is pleased to offer a gorgeous Australian sheetlet of 10 sets commemorating Star Trek The Next Generation. (Click the post title for more information.) Stunning portrayals of the series' main characters make this stamp a must have issue for collectors and trekkies alike.
