Try these:
"When Gene Roddenberry pitched Star Trek to NBC he likened it as a,
'Wagon Train to the Stars,'" -
"This was the notion from which Gene Roddenberry created Star Trek. He
billed the show as 'Wagon Train to the stars.'" -
"In an episode that comes the closest to creator Gene Roddenberry's
original concept behind Star Trek (i.e., 'Wagon Train to the stars')" -
"Americans first met Captain James T. Kirk and the gallant crew of the
U.S.S. Enterprise in 1966,16 when Roddenberry's "Wagon Train to the
Stars"17 began telling a science fiction tale that evolved into a
modern mythology." -
"He was a very well known western writer. As a matter of fact, Star
Trek was 'Wagon Train to the Stars.' That was the original concept of
it. That's how it was supposed to happen." -
"When Gene Roddenberry launched his 'Wagon Train to the stars' in 1966"
-
"At the time he conceived it in 1963, this would have been a first for
TV. Based on the popular show, 'Wagon Train,' Roddenberry called it a
'wagon train to the stars,' or a 'star trek.'[sic]" -
"Gene Roddenberry once described his concept for the initial Star Trek
show as 'Wagon Train to the stars,'" -
