Towards the bottom of the article, Dr. Fulks mentions an opportunity regarding the Parker Solar Probe soon to be launched. If you want your name to go up in space, you have until April 27th to add it to the list. The website is here...

James Tiberius Kirk would bend over anything in the universe.

Is there any way we can put Lindsay Graham and Susanne Colins on it?

[deadrock]

Not another Stormy Daniels post.

Darn! I thought we were going to be discussing some guy that wanted to do Ellen DeGeneres.

Those who “peer-reviewed” the scientific paper he submitted to the Astrophysical Journal rejected it.

You mean the scientific consensus of the day was wrong? I thought it could never be wrong....

I really liked Star Trek when it first came on. Still do like it but viewing it recently I was surprised how many weak episodes there are.

There are some excellent ones too but I think the main reason it continues to be popular is the characters. All the actors are, or were good.

BTW, they dropped the “man” and replaced it with “one” in the later ripoffs.

Ever notice that in the Star Trek series everyone was a officer.And there were only two enlisted rank Yeoman Brand and Chief O Brien.

My son had a good friend who was into astronomy, and we had good conversations about it. Very bright kid. He was killed in a car accident after leaving our house late one night. We put his name on the disc they put on the Mars Maven probe. There was a certificate you could download and print out once submitted, which we gave to his mother. I’m glad they do these type of things.

It happens I was wondering about that ‘bridge’ on the Enterprise, and where it was and stuff...

Yep.due to political correctness, they changed it to “where no one has gone before”. We have to be inclusive and don’t want females to have hurt self esteem .

[Architect of Avalon]

Kirk’s approach to space exploration was to seduce beautiful women on every planet.

Star Trek, the original is awesome. The other Star Trek’s suck.

And on the ship.

[bigbob]

But only women. We now know why Sulu was there.

Was Nurse Chapel an officer?

Did they ever even say?

[fieldmarshaldj]

Yes, she was an officer. She became a doctor by the first film.
