Two more read1J·to-launch rockets from Cox. X-15:­ Streaking to a speed of 4,500 mph and an altitude of 350,000 Space feet, the rocket propelled X-15 carried astronauts like Neil tothe Armstrong to the edge of space. Shuttle Cox's authentically detailed scale model (13" in length) ed9e gives you a vivid and exciting re-creation of those early America flights. Its solid-propellant engine thrusts it off the of launch pad toward space. Then, as it passes maxi­ mum altitude, it deploys a re-entry parachute to land space safely, ready for another thrilling flight. Cox's X-15 is molded of high impact plastic, has accurate NASA markings. Comes complete and ready to launch for less than $6.00. Fly it today. Lift off! And up, up to the very frontier of space streaks Space Shuttle America, the hypersonic transport, carrying shuttlecraft loaded with men and mate­ rials. At NASA ground control, the -signal is given and the shuttlecraft leave the mother ship to fly their cargo on to an orbiting space station. Un­ loaded, they return to earth to rejoin the mother ship for another trip. Cox's exotic Space Shuttle America cap­ tures in realistic miniature the excitement of this excursion into space. It blasts off, climbs to altitude, then separates. The mother ship parachutes safely to earth. The two shuttle­ craft glide gracefully in a circular "re-entry" flight to a perfect landing. · Space Shuttle America includes: Beautifully styled transport. Two detailed delta wing re-entry gliders (designed for catapult launching if desired). Engine retainer ring and flameproof ejection wadding. And extra detailing decals. A fascinating glimpse into the future of space explora- tion. Approximately $8.00 . At hobby, toy and department stores. L. M,.COX MFG.

I’m sure you have already discovered, as I have, that this event is truly a unique amalgamation of all the things that made Star Trek a phenomenon. My own small contribution to this legendary story has continued to be a source of great pride to me during my career, and although I have been fortunate enough to have many other projects to satisfy the artist in me, I have nevertheless always felt a deep and visceral connection to the show. But there are reasons why this never- ending story has endured. I have always believed that this special connection to Star Trek we all enjoy comes from the positive picture the stories consistently envision.

  • Trekonderoga 2018
    Special Guests Karl Urban Original Star Trek series fan and New Zealand-born actor Karl Urban actively pursued and won the role of Dr. Leonard McCoy on 2009’s motion picture named, appropriately enough, Star Trek. In his portrayal, Karl evoked many of the subtle mannerisms and vocalisms made famous by one DeForest Kelley of an earlier era – one could consider his performance as an ultimate fan tribute. Karl was interested in acting from a very early age, debuting at age 8 in the New Zealand television series Pioneer Woman. Internationally he appeared in both Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and its spin-off Xena: Warrior Princess, playing recurring roles in both American/New Zealand series. He eventually started working on Hollywood productions and in relatively no time was in big productions such as The Lord of the Rings, The Bourne Supremacy, The Chronicles of Riddick, and Doom. Hollywood press has speculated that he could have landed the role of “James Bond” had not previous film commitments gotten in the way (the role went to Daniel Craig). Other films he appeared in include Red, Dredd, The Loft, Pete’s Dragon, while Karl most recently appeared as “Skurge” in 2016’s Thor: Ragnarok. Karl is active on the convention circuit and makes his first bombshell appearance at this year’s edition of Trekonderoga! Be sure not to miss your opportunity to meet Karl onboard the original Enterprise – where else but in Sickbay, naturally – in a time-defying trip back to the original series sets with today’s Dr. McCoy! Appears Saturday & Sunday only Gates McFadden Not many Enterprise-D characters could call their Captain by his first name, but Doctor Beverly Crusher, memorably played by Gates McFadden, certainly could – and did.

  • American Archivist Reviews Date Posted: May 23, 2019
    American Archivist Reviews Date posted: May 23, 2019 http://reviews.americanarchivist.org “Still So Much to Learn”: Star Trek and the Archives Reviewed by Samantha Cross, CallisonRTKL, Inc. The Star Trek franchise is not an easy topic to pare down considering its more than 50 years worth of canonical television, movies, comics, novels, and supplemental material to sift through. Academically speaking, there’s no shortage of scholarly papers addressing issues of race, gender, sexuality, technology, ethics, and morality as depicted in all these mediums.1 And that’s just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to how Star Trek has been and will continue to be examined as each generation comes to understand the franchise within the context of their reality. The impact and influence of Gene Rodenberry’s creation are vast, and its place in popular culture endures. What started as a hopeful idea of a diverse and prosperous future has become a bold statement of equality across all aspects of identity even if it fumbles the message from time to time. Viewers, for the most part, tune in to get a glimpse of an aspirational future where humans have managed not to destroy one another; where the voyages of starships like the Enterprise, Voyager, and Discovery bring a sense of curiosity, empathy, and adventure as their crews journey into the unknown. So, where do archives fit into the final frontier? Should you endeavor to do an online search for anything related to Star Trek, I’d advise you to hunker down and settle in especially if your interest lies in a niche topic within the Trek universe.
