Modeled on Gulliver’s Travels
Mmm, no.

It was pitched to the networks as a "Wagon Train to the stars".

Yep, Space Western. But I still love the original.

“Modeled on Gulliver’s Travels”

More socialist rewriting of history.
Some have tried to say the teleporter was the show’s vision of the future. In fact, they couldn’t afford the special effects of landing a ship so this was a cheap alternative...
In the 60’s, I remember an article about some NASA scientists invited to the stage to observe the bridge and give their thoughts.. They filled out a questionnaire and all the NASA guys agreed that in 200 years, Man would have space travel, phasers, warp speed, but not a one believed that we would have doors that open and close automatically!
