"Not many franchises have fueled society's timeless fascination with the boundless possibilities of a utopian future like Star Trek. Next year the sprawling franchise will add more shows, Lego sets and even a Rose Parade Float in a yearlong celebration of its 60th anniversary. The hefty lineup of fan-centric celebrations was announced by the franchise on its 59th anniversary Monday, known as Star Trek Day. The projects are the first wave,"
"The sci-fi franchise began with the TV series created by Gene Roddenberry that debuted in 1966 and has since sprawled into a multi-billion dollar cultural phenomenon. Today, fans, known as Trekkies, have enjoyed countless movies, spinoff shows and video games based on the original series. Set in the Milky Way a couple hundred years in the future, the series followed the crew behind the starship USS Enterprise."
