Star Trek has been boldly going where no one has gone before for five decades now, making it remarkable that the venerable franchise has the energy to continue to be so bold and mobile. The CraveCast crew will be celebrating 50 years of all things Trek on our next live show Tuesday at noon PT.

Crave's Amanda Kooser will tell us about her epic and emotional trip to the 50th anniversary Star Trek convention in Las Vegas, while fellow Trekkers Stephen Beacham, Bonnie Burton, Jeff Sparkman and Eric Mack attempt to hold back our envious outbursts.

We'll also beam in Kelsey Adams to share her thoughts on the evolution of the character of Lieutenant Uhura with a dash of Trek history.

Join the crew by returning to this page Tuesday at noon PT, when we'll have a live stream of the show embedded below. You can also watch via YouTube or Livestream and join in the live chat room.

Share your thoughts and questions in the comments below. And tweet @crave and @EricCMack.
