RIP Leonard Nimoy.

"He's really not dead, as long as we remember him."

NASA is mourning the passing today, Feb. 27, 2015, of actor Leonard Nimoy, most famous for his role as Star Trek's Vulcan science officer Mr. Spock. The sci-fi classic served as an inspiration for many at NASA over the years, and Nimoy joined other cast members at special NASA events and worked to promote NASA missions, as in this 2007 video he narrated before the launch of the Dawn mission to the asteroid belt. Nimoy also was there for the 1976 rollout of the shuttle Enterprise, named for the show's iconic spacecraft.

RIP, Mr. Nimoy

Sad.

Few shows have a passing on of the torch from one generation to another.

That's a great photo, Eno. I'd never seen it before. Thanks!

Takei from back in the day. OH MY! Love that guy.

Some cool shoes he was sportin', eh?

Where was Kirk? Off with some soft-focus Bimbo, I suppose.

I didn't notice that picture until now. The doc seems to be wearing snake skin cowboy boots.

... or ostrich.
