"Tomorrow Is Yesterday" is a first season episode of the original science fiction television series, Star Trek. It is episode #19, production #21, first broadcast on 26 January 1967, repeated 13 July 1967, and remastered in 2006 for syndication broadcast on 5 May 2007. The teleplay was written by D.C. Fontana and directed by Michael O'Herlihy.
In the plot, the crew of the USS Enterprise travels back to 1968 Earth and must correct damage they caused to the timeline.
On stardate 3113.2, the Federation starship USS Enterprise is thrown back in time to Earth during the 1960s by the effects of a high-gravity "black star". The Enterprise ends up in Earth's upper atmosphere, and is picked up as a UFO on military radar.
A U.S Air Force F-104 interceptor piloted by Captain John Christopher (Roger Perry), is scrambled to identify the craft. The pilot, surprised to see the strange craft above him, is ordered to stop the Enterprise from escaping. Captain Kirk uses a tractor beam on the jet, which accidentally tears the plane apart. Kirk orders the pilot to be transported aboard the Enterprise to save him.
The man is at first confused by his new surroundings, then amazed by what the future holds, and impressed and awed when he discovers that Enterprise is one of 12 such starships under the authority of a combined service and that the computer calls Kirk "Dear," having been overhauled on the female-dominated planet Cygnet XIV (the technicians there thought the computer needed a personality).
