Star Trek
is an American science fiction entertainment series.
The original Star Trek was an American television series, created by Gene Roddenberry, which debuted in 1966 and ran for three seasons, following the interstellar adventures of Captain James T. Kirk and the crew of the Federation Starship Enterprise
Star Trek
stories usually depict the adventures of humans and aliens who serve in the Federation's Starfleet. The protagonists are essentially altruists whose ideals are sometimes only imperfectly applied to the dilemmas presented in the series.

addressed issues of the 1960s
just as later spin-offs have reflected issues of their respective decades. Issues depicted in the various series include war and peace, the value of personal loyalty,economics, racism, religion , human rights, sexism , and feminism  and the role of technology

Star Trek
: we were sending messages and fortunately they all got by the network."

For example, they were opposed to Roddenberry's insistence on a racially diverse crew of the
Enterprise
