Star Trek at 50: Transparent Aluminum

Star Trek premiered on television in 1966. It hardly seems like 50 years, but then to admit that I would need to feel my age, which at least for today I'll avoid committing to. Things have changed a lot since then, and we've come to expect science fiction can become science fact. This year we'll take a look at the technologies that spawned from Star Trek.

But where to start? Let's go back to 1986 and the need to put whales on a space ship.

This week, a look at Transparent Aluminum.

TTFN, Fred.
