I was a stand in on StarTrek Enterprise. I'll never get an award :( However when I stepped on the bridge, I literally had tears running down my face. I wasn't filmed on the bridge but I got to stand on it for a short time. Greatest experience of my life.
Walking through the history of Star Trek is walking through my life. Star Trek inspired me. Guided me.Pushed me. Gene Roddenberry gave us hope that some day the human race will become better people. That is what Star Trek is.
Hampshire and 14, I saw it through a video boxset of the first 8 movies on video that came with the 30th Anniversary evening gala and instantly fell in love with his music.
I've seen this so many times that being a lifelong STAR TREK follower and disciple since September 8,1966 when I was in the fifth grade. So as always "LIVELONG AND PROSPER AND PEACE AND LONG LIFE" and " INFINITE DIVERSITY IN INFINITE COMBINATIONS "!
I remember watching this a few months after it was initially broadcast. With the TNG team making hit movies, and DS9 doing well and Voyager just launched, and Star Trek Experience attractions about to open... Star Trek was the undisputed king back then.
This is so beautiful!!! It brings tears to my eyes. What started as a one man philosophy became a philosophy to live by, for millions of people all over the world. Gene, you still inspire people. “To boldly go”...
i still find it amazing i got to watch this on tv, on a channel that my house wasnt even suppose to get. but somehow, this stayed clean enough to record and watch for years.
I can't thank you enough for preserving this on UA-cam. The thematic connection to the Space Program, the skit with my favorite sitcom cast, almost all the actors/actresses from the golden age of Star Trek, and of course the theme music from DS9 make this one of my fondest Star Trek memories.
@@neilfuller6024 Another TV special like this would have been a great way to have celebrated the 50th anniversary. Because they could have included cast they didn't have at the time of the 30th like Jeri Ryan (7 of 9), the cast of Enterprise, the cast of the new movies. And of course a memorial speech for the ones who have passed on (DeForrest Kelley, James Doohan, Majel Barret, Grace Lee Whitney, Leonard Nimoy, the young actor that played Chekov is the re-boot movies, and of course Roddenberry himself).
When the 50th came Star Trek was was not being made apart from the movie by Paramount. CBS is now a completely separate entity and they were not making any Star Trek at that point. In '96 you had DS9 and VOY at full speed., not to mention First Contact as well. The TOS were fairly fresh still from their last appearances in the franchise too. Getting all together was a lot easier during that period than it would be now. I think it's fair to say also that Trek in 96 was bigger than it is now in 2020 for example. Not sure it will ever reach that level of popularity again, but who knows?
If Leonard Nimoy and Patrick Stewart could have been there in person, then the entire Star Trek family from TOS, TNG, DS9 and Voyager would have all been on stage in full force and would have been the only time you see them all in one place and that would have been historic moment.
@@justrosy5 thanks for pointing that out. I forgot about her. But she was hardly a regular casted. I know she's the widow of Gene roddenberry. Though she was nurse Chapel in the Original but wasn't on every episode and TNG she Counselor Tori Mom bring a different character and was the Enterprise Computer voice. So your making her count of appearing then that make sense.
@@justrosy5 yes she was she just didn’t go on stage wish they her that moment especially as Gene Roddenberry wife that would of been a special moment but a missed opportunity
@@justrosy5 She should have been there also I believe. Her voice at least had been the computer voice on all of those shows. Something like this should have done for the 50th anniversary.
THIS brought tears in my eyes! Because you see, I am a brontosaurus, born in the sixties, I grew up listening Beatles and Creedence and all of them. I grew up in the Star Trek and Apollo era! The first game I ever played was a very naive alphanumerical game called Star Trek, somewhere in the past eighties, beyond the communist Iron Curtain, in Romania! But there were Kirk, Uhura, Scottie, Spock,everyone of them! That's why now, my eyes are a little bit ...foggy should I say? Beam me up,Scottie!
I am so deeply by the heart and enthusiasm that went into putting this production together. May God bless all of you and may God continue to use you all the way he has to bring more people closer to Heaven. Live long and prosper.
I finally discoverd when the spark of inspiration for Galaxy Quest arose. Perhaps. Ben Stiller's one man skit about his boyhood watching Star Trek from that 1996 Star Trek celebration.
I remember watching this live. Would love to see a ceremony with all living cast members from the crews of the shows and films at the next milestone in 2026.
This was a much better tribute than anything they had for the 50th. They had the casts of all the shows that were around at the time. Enterprise didn't exist yet. Patrick Stewart and Leonard Nimoy were out of the country when this aired but both had recorded a short video to be played for this. The only person I don't recall seeing is Alexander Siddig. If they had done something like this for the 50th, they could have had a memorial segment for those who had passed on.
This is so nice and warm and comforting to watch, while making me sad. I enjoy the new Star Trek shows and I adore the Kelvin Timeline crew, but Star Trek doesn't really seem to carry the same cultural weight at the moment that it did during that 30th anniversary salute to the franchise.
this defines my childhood; i's why i went into biology as a job. the concept of "discover" is what this over educated farmer needed. 50 years later, still "discovering"
Dedicated to the immortal visionary, Gene Roddenberry, the exceptional human who saw the future and made millions dream of it.... Thank you for posting this. I grew up on Star Trek and it has never left me...I wish I could go into space before I die.
Where has the time gone! I was 11 years old when this was filmed and I had it on the Movie VHS box set, I would always imitate the funky music played when Ben Stiller walks out haha! Now I'm 32 just this past February.......21 years, and its gone by in the blink of an eye! I agree with the sentiment that Star Trek should come back, but I am not sure how Star Trek Discovery will be received! We can only but see!
The 30th anniversary was Star Trek's first milestone anniversary after then-owners Paramount became part of Viacom. The host, Ted Danson, was a veteran of Paramount's "Cheers", and later starred on "Becker" for the studio, itself having a Trek alum in Terry Farrell (formerly of DS9). During the original run of "Cheers", Kelsey Grammer, who went on to portray his "Cheers" character Frasier Crane on a spin-off series for 11 years, made a guest appearance on TNG.
I don't know how I've never seen this though I've seen clips of them standing up their at the end and for some reason Beltran getting up from his chair is a gif lmao! Loved seeing all the Voyager cast there! so cool! what a fab celebration, they should do one for the 60th in 2026!
I saw this as a 12 year trekkie in 1996! Can't believe we're only 2 years from the 60th anniversary special now. I got into Frasier based on the Voyager sketch

Hey! Does anyone know where the video is where an opera singer does the original Star Trek theme (vocally) as William Shatner does the "Space...the final frontier..." bit? It is surprisingly awesome! I thought it was this show, but it wasn't. :( JW3HH
Does anyone know why Leonard Nimoy, Majel Barrett, Alexander Siddig, Wil Wheaton, and Aron Eisenberg weren't included in this? Were they sent plaques anyway?
@@ecotrekker8184 Yes, I saw that, probably after posting this question. I mainly was referring to the plaques being given to the actors, though I was curious why they couldn't attend. I wondered if the plaques were mailed to the missing actors separately.
There's a bit missing from Joan Collins' part. After she says she doesn't know if Edith slipped or was pushed in front of the truck, she calls out to the audience "Captain Kirk was she pushed? Or did she just slip? I think she was pushed." Spoiler alert, she walked in front of it.
I was a stand in on StarTrek Enterprise. I'll never get an award :( However when I stepped on the bridge, I literally had tears running down my face. I wasn't filmed on the bridge but I got to stand on it for a short time. Greatest experience of my life.
Alexander Colon who did you stand in for on “Star Trek: Enterprise?” I’m guessing Malcolm Reed?
Congratulations 😁👍
That story produced some tears here.
The first time I made to a Disney park I was 50ish, I cried as I finally stepped onto Main Street U.S.A.
that is cool
I cannot believe I saw the 30th anniversary of Star Trek and 2 years time I'll be around to see it's 60th.
I was barely ten years old when I watched this live on TV. What a special memory this was.
Walking through the history of Star Trek is walking through my life. Star Trek inspired me. Guided me.Pushed me. Gene Roddenberry gave us hope that some day the human race will become better people. That is what Star Trek is.
same
So hard to believe this was 20 years ago. I remember watching this like it was yesterday. Same year First Contact came out, the peak of the Franchise.
first contact is my fav of the next generation movies
Good lord I remember watching this live. Can't believe that was 20 years ago.
Same here. I still get teary eyed watching the different Star Trek clips and NASA clips to the DS9 Rock Version, as it was called back then.
Add 7 years now.
this was the moment an 11 year old boy in Devonshire become a fan of Kenny G. I was so pleased to have pressed record on the vcr for this
Hampshire and 14, I saw it through a video boxset of the first 8 movies on video that came with the 30th Anniversary evening gala and instantly fell in love with his music.
The Moment is my favourite Kenny G song because of this special. 👍😎
RIP Leonard Nimoy, DeForest Kelly, and James Doohan. Brilliant actors all of them. May William Shatner go on forever.
so many are not with us now, so sad, loved them all
I'm so glad they included Mae Jemison. I loved the whole thing, but, sitting alone watching this, i actually applauded when they announced her.
I've seen this so many times that being a lifelong STAR TREK follower and disciple since September 8,1966 when I was in the fifth grade. So as always "LIVELONG AND PROSPER AND PEACE AND LONG LIFE" and " INFINITE DIVERSITY IN INFINITE COMBINATIONS "!

Can you believe?
From Argentina: Live Long and Prosper to Star Trek
Really thrilled to see Buzz Aldrin and William Shatner together, and all the ST icons in the same stage, I profoundly thank for this magical moment
Who would have guessed that both of them would be able to say they'd gone into space?!

Even tho I come from Babylon 5, this is moving. Without Star Trek, even B5 would not exist.
now i have to watch all the series again. i lost count how many times 😊
How did i miss this in 96??
I did. At least I watched the original Star Trek series when it first came on TV back in the 1960s.
It's amazing look at this and thinking we are almost approaching the 50th anniversary!
And they CBS did NOTHING to celibate the 50th, but they did green light DiscoVery.

THIS brought tears in my eyes!
Because you see, I am a brontosaurus, born in the sixties, I grew up listening Beatles and Creedence and all of them.
I grew up in the Star Trek and Apollo era!
The first game I ever played was a very naive alphanumerical game called Star Trek, somewhere in the past eighties, beyond the communist Iron Curtain, in Romania!
But there were Kirk, Uhura, Scottie, Spock,everyone of them!
That's why now, my eyes are a little bit ...foggy should I say?
Beam me up,Scottie!
As a kid i liked ST but watched it and stayed up to watch the show after.. Space 1999.
In 3 years Star Trek will be celebrating 60 years and the shows that has came into being since this one.💜
OMG.. even the orchestra!!! so awesome!
beautiful.. I wish I were there at the time.. too bad Nemoy and Stewart couldn't be there...
Orchestra Conducted by Dennis McCarthy.
Thank you for posting this you've made me very happy !
Whoa, the memories! I watched the Australian broadcast of this when it aired, NYE from memory. I was 16... I'm now 44! 😳 Thanks for uploading! 👍😎

Remember when I first watched this was great
30:05 "our records show your Star Ship Cruiser's warranty has run out, for the low price of 10,000,000 credits........"
I remember watching this live. Would love to see a ceremony with all living cast members from the crews of the shows and films at the next milestone in 2026.
We need a new STAR TREK series on tv already !!!!!!
Amazing. Thank you 😊
Ben Stiller is amazing!
I had this on a VHS boxset of Star Trek.
Same here. It would have been great to be there in person.
I hope somthing similar will be put on disc for the 50th anniversary.
Let's hope so.

Tracy Wood Stewarton and nimoy had the sense not to get involved with this rubbish.

Now William Shatner is going to be taking a trip into the outermost edges of space ..this next week have a good flight !!!
live long and prosper
All those cars look vintage from the interviews lol. Times move so quickly!
My favorite part has always been 1:10:13-1:13:24 followed by Kenny G's "The Moment" bit.
TIME TO DO ANOTHER GOOD STAR TREK SERIES
ST Picard S3
Wish they had a buyable version of this. At least snuck into a season set sometime as an extra.
Gilbert Garcia, Jr this is the buyable version.
They did; I used to have it on VHS

Oh my gosh!!!!! Buzz Aldrin appeared on this!!!!!!
More star trek. :P
hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!
trha2222 I know he was on it! D:
nice profile pic
trha2222 and he was the second man to set foot on the lunar surface. I’m surprised that he didn’t get to appear on “Star Trek” in any incarnation.
I don't know how I've never seen this though I've seen clips of them standing up their at the end and for some reason Beltran getting up from his chair is a gif lmao! Loved seeing all the Voyager cast there! so cool! what a fab celebration, they should do one for the 60th in 2026!
Different era. The internet brought us closer together but also divided us
And now its been another 25 years!
In 2026. Star Trek Turns 60!!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder why Alexander Siddig wasn't there. And Wil Wheaton.
I saw this as a 12 year trekkie in 1996!
Can't believe we're only 2 years from the 60th anniversary special now.
I got into Frasier based on the Voyager sketch
Where no Man has gone before
I just realized the episode "measure of a Man" is the stepping stone for the premise of Children of Mars
Where did you get this, I've been looking for this all over lol thanks for putting this up. :)
Ben Stiller, fantastic.
Much better than the 50 year celebration with JJ Abrams talking about his movie
A must watch.

I was not expecting that Frasier sketch. This whole thing is PEAK NINETIES.
Combined with Kelsey starring as that captain in one episode of TNG and frasier talking Klingon for his sons bar mitzvah, its a perfect sketch😂
CBS couldn't be bothered to do half of this for the 50th.
at first glimpse the thumbnail reminded me of the old smackdown set
We need a new vision for the future. A positive one.
Happy Birthday, Captain Kirk/aka/ Willaim Shatner!
0:58 That is a Picard prime directive speech right there, to the core and meaning of ethics and morality.
lets hope strange new worlds will look really groovy and bringing that iconic look in a modern way
still nobody has this up in HD? the last time I watched it on tv it was in full HD. Though its probably shown like maybe twice a year on tv.
日本語字幕ありがたいです！！
thank you＼(^o^)／
from japan.
Shatner is Captain Kirk. There is no other. Long live Star Trek!
that was fun to watch.
Ben Stiller needs to be in Star Trek!
Dear Gene Roddenberry ,
have a good Time by Our Father Gott and
thanks for your " Star Trek "
I reckon the cast of Frasier would have been way more entertaining 😁👍👍👍👍
Ironically Kelsey WAS actually on STNG
Does anyone know why Leonard Nimoy, Majel Barrett, Alexander Siddig, Wil Wheaton, and Aron Eisenberg weren't included in this? Were they sent plaques anyway?
They all had covid that week.
Leonard Nimoy gives a short talk about halfway through explaining his absence. He was filming another role almost on the other side of the world.
@@ecotrekker8184 Yes, I saw that, probably after posting this question. I mainly was referring to the plaques being given to the actors, though I was curious why they couldn't attend. I wondered if the plaques were mailed to the missing actors separately.
when star trek was star trek.
Haha this is a splendid documentary!
The best part of this special, was the frasier cast scetch😂
Uh-oh.... Bill Shatner was treated as "any other actor"? ffs. He INSPIRED Buzz Aldren. Icon.
Lol @ bill shatner. .. I love a name like buzz!
yes hard to believe this was nearly 20 years ago
Ben, the Enterprise was a constitution class-Heavy Cruiser-design.
The Ben Stiller bit is quite funny.
Inspiration To Go Where No Man Or Woman Has Been Before.
