From The Space Review (http://www.thespacereview.com/article/506/1)
It is arguably the most famous opening television monologue ever:
“Space, the final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship Enterprise. Her five-year mission: to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly go where no man has gone before.”
It turns out that the last line of that memorable speech delivered by Captain James T. Kirk (well, William Shatner) nearly four decades ago came from a White House document produced in 1958 to help calm post-Sputnik hysteria.
Here is an excerpt from the March 1958 document “Introduction to Outer Space:”
“…the compelling urge of man to explore and to discover, the thrust of curiosity that leads men to try to go where no one has gone before.”
Interesting.
