Gene Roddenberry: The Creator of Star Trek

Science fiction may not be your cup of tea, but you may have heard of a certain intellectual property called Star Trek. You may have never watched an episode, but its presence in popular culture is so pervasive that you may have picked up that there is a character with pointy ears and that extras wearing red shirts always get killed.

If you are indeed a fan of Star Trek, you may know that its creator was credited as one of the most visionary authors in this genre.

But only hardcore Trekkies may be familiar with this man’s life story, one that involved life-threatening adventures and serial seduction worthy of his lead character Captain Kirk.

This is the long and prosperous life of Gene Roddenberry, decorated war veteran, civil aviation hero, police officer, and creator of Star Trek.
