Earth-Saturn probe mission patch
Colonel Shaun Geoffrey Christopher was the son of US Air Force Captain John Christopher, and the leader of the first Earth-Saturn probe. He was accompanied on this mission by the astronauts Fontana and O'Herlihy.
In 1969, the USS Enterprise, which had accidentally traveled back in time from the year 2267, took aboard Captain John Christopher when he attempted to intercept the Enterprise with his F-104 Starfighter. Initially believing that returning Christopher to Earth would be impossible, due to the fact that he might inadvertently change history with his newfound knowledge of the future, Commander Spock eventually realized that he had to be returned, or Shaun Geoffrey Christopher would never be born and the Saturn mission would never take place. (TOS: "Tomorrow is Yesterday"; ENT: "First Flight")
