Actually, it premiered in Canada two days earlier, September 6.
Pardon me, while I go "get a life".

Well, here's something that happened yesterday: Walter Koenig received his Hollywood star on the Walk of Fame.

(I'm hoping jkt or Doug Spaulding can tell us where Walter's star is relative to Ray's star.)

"We choose to go to the moon [...] and do the other things, not because they are easy, but because they are hard."

I know it's only rhetoric, and there were plenty of other political reasons for the space race, but that one statement is possibly the finest thing any politician has ever said.
