How Star Trek began. 55 Years of Star Trek. It all began when Gene Roddenberry convinced Desilu to foot the bill for not one, but two Star Trek pilots. Thanks to Desilu's boss, America's darling Lucille Ball, the world met Kirk, Spock, and McCoy. This episode of The Center Seat: 55 Years of Star Trek explores the origins of a cultural phenomenon.
