Just saw a movie with the actor that played Captain Pike.

Hell to Eternity, a WWII epic.................


He’s also one of the demolition engineers in “The Longest Day”. Gets fragged right before the blow the concrete barrier/wall.

‘Hell to Eternity, a WWII epic.................’

is that the one in which Jeffery Hunter plays a young man raised by a Japanese family in California...? if so, fair to middling flick...

Very cool.

I have a personal theory, entirely NOT backed by science or the Word of God, that humanity upon Christ’s return will be given access to the entirety of His creation.

The universe is so large, it is very hard to imagine how large. I doubt if there is a boundary for the universe. Probably goes on to infinity.

Hard to tell but to me they look more like protoplanets than planets.

He died at a really young age, 42, in 1969, from a stroke that was most likely caused by an on-set accident with an explosive and a later fall down some stairs.
He turned down the Star Trek role as Captain Pike, saying he wanted to focus more on his film career, thinking the Star Trek series would not last long, and was subsequently replaced by William Shatner..............
