What a pussy. No wonder having humans on space exploration isn’t happening beyond our orbit anymore. No one has the balls to do it. That shirt wasn’t offensive in the slightest, and a man with a spine would have told them all off. What a joke. Grow some balls, loser. Guy never would have been involved in space exploration 50 years ago. Don’t want losers like this determining the fate of the human race. Sooner or later the idiots will cause their deaths and the deaths of millions. Or they just won’t survive a breakdown of society. Either way their time is tick tick ticking away, and man will be able to breathe again.
I realize that it’s from an old, time-worn 60’s Sci-fi show & not “real-life,” but this
Kirk monologue reflected a Zeitgeist RE space exploration which is sadly lacking today:
- - - - - - - - - - - -
They used to say, “If man could fly, he’d have wings.”
But he did fly — he discovered he had to.
Do you wish that the first Apollo mission hadn’t reached the moon,
or that we hadn’t gone on to Mars or the nearest star?
That’s like saying you wish that you still operated with scalpels, and sewed your
patients up with catgut like your great-great-great-great-grandfather used to.
I’m in command, I could order this. But I’m not, because…
Dr. McCoy is right, in pointing out the enormous danger potential
in any contact with life and intelligence as fantastically advanced as this.
But I must point out that the POSSIBILITIES, the potential
for knowledge and advancement, is equally great.
Risk...
RISK IS OUR BUSINESS!
That’s what this Starship is all about.
That’s why we’re aboard her!
