The TV series "Star Trek" predicted everything from tablet computers to flip phones and a diverse space program. "CBS This Morning: Saturday" co-host Michelle Miller has the story of how "Star Trek" actress Nichelle Nichols played a key role in NASA's effort to recruit both people of color and the first female astronauts, more than four decades ago. Each weekday morning, "CBS This Morning" co-hosts Gayle King, Anthony Mason and Tony Dokoupil deliver two hours of original reporting, breaking news and top-level newsmaker interviews in an engaging and informative format that challenges the norm in network morning news programs.
