Yep.
A ground-breaking show for its time... Much like the Star Wars movies a few years later.
It is also amazing how much of our current technology was "predicted" by Star Trek.
At the time, the idea of a wireless flip-top "communicator" was so futuristic... Now we ALL carry them (cell phones), and don't think twice about it!
GPS, night-vision, space stations, shuttlecraft.... All "predicted" by Roddenberry.
Most science fiction eventually becomes science fact.
