Space flight industry contribute $3,000,000 to Save Star Trek Enterprise

Forgive something a little off topic for the group.

Thought that some fellow pilots would want to know about this
effort to save Star Trek Enterprise from cancellation. It is a
very serious effort, and not just "trekkies".

There is an active campaign to raise money to finance a
fifth season that has now raised over 3 million dollars thanks to
commercial space flight entrereneurs. I betting Paul Allen of
SpaceShipOne fame had a hand in this.

The show has greatly improved this last season, and I'm sure I'm
not the only one that found Star Trek inspirational as a child to
look skyward. I think its worth saving.

Thanks for looking.

Much like Law & Order, star Trek keeps spawning new series.

Star Trek ....................................(1967-1969)
Cartoon ......................................(1973-1974)
Star Trek Next Generation .......(1987-1994)
Star Trek Deep Space Nine ....(1993-1998)
Star Trek Voyager ....................(1995-1999)
Enterprise ..................................(2001-May 2005)

"Enterprise" needs to figure out how to get the Vulcan into the shower more.

Come up with something good or die on the vine. $3M won't help.

Which one?

Next Generation is/was still the best.

Voyager sucked.

Enterprise keeps moving from night to night -- I've only seen it a couple of
times. But, I enjoyed it when I caught it.

The stories are much improved now. UPN does not know
how to market the show properly.

More help is likley on the way. But
they may not need to raise the full amount. It could offset the cost
of any percieved losses or make the show much more attractive
(cheaper price offset by the contributions) to be shopped to another
network. Manys shows have changed networks in the past. JAG for one.
UPN is an awful home for Star Trek. I am hoping the show is picked up
by another network.

There big mistake this year was moving it to Friday, lining it up
against Sci-Fi channel's Stargate etc. Sci-Fi channel ought to pick it
up, that's about the only thing that would save it.

On, yeah, and more Vulcan shower scenes grin.

Star Trek ....................................(1967-1969)

TOS was canceled after the first season, but due to the effort of fans
it was brought back. There should be a short gap after the first
season.

My SciFi reading friends like Enterprise, I haven't warmed up to it in the
least. I watched more DS-9 but never really warmed up to that one either.

The original is the original g.

NG was very good. And now, guilty pleasure here ...I sort of liked Voyager.
