The Original Star Trek Pitch

[Bob Schroeck]

Oh, yes, I remember hearing about this -- I seem to recall that bits were even reprinted in one of the early "making of Star Trek" paperbacks in the 70s. Oh, right -- and I remember Roddenberry half-laughingly, half-shamefully admitting that he faked the http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Drake_equation]Drake Equation in the proposal at the last minute because he had no idea where to find the real one (in those ancient days before the Internet).
