Celebrating "The Man Trap"
Free, Tickets Required
Please note: Tickets for the Washington, DC program are now in standby. Tickets are still available for the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center program.
Join Museum experts and special guests as we commemorate the moment of the 50th anniversary of Star Trek, with a discussion on the first episode aired in 1966. Celebrations will be held concurrently in the IMAX theaters at our Washington, DC location and Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center in Chantilly, VA. The evening will be introduced live in Washington and by simulcast to Chantilly by Margaret Weitekamp, the museum’s curator of social and cultural dimensions of spaceflight; Rod Roddenberry, son of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry; and Bjo and John Trimble, two of Star Trek’s founding fans.
Free tickets are required, and can be requested below.
This event is part of a three-night celebration of Star Trek's 50th anniversary, including the Boldly Go 50 Celebration on September 9 and a 21-and-over program on September 10.
The three-night Star Trek celebration is sponsored by the Roddenberry Foundation. Additional support provided by Adam Schneider.
