flyboy0681 Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 The obituaries that I've been reading say that Leonard Nimoy was a private pilot and aircraft owner. Does anybody know whether he kept it up over the years? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Piloto Posted February 27, 2015 Report Share Posted February 27, 2015 FAA records show PVT/IFR. Last medical in 1980 The only ship I knew he flew was NCC 1701. After 30 years I still watch the original series. Live Long and Prosper Spock 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aviatoreb Posted March 1, 2015 Report Share Posted March 1, 2015 I think I know what happened to Spock. He was on an away team to some planet, and he accidentally wore a red shirt. Remember friends: Never wear a red shirt if find yourself on a Star Trek away team!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its quite logical actually: I think he's doing a fuel computation - how much dilithium crystals will we need to carry at warp factor-7 across two parsecs, with 836 crewman on board, plus their luggage, can I do it within balance, and with IFR reserves since we will need to go through a Nebula clouds and shoot an approach to a Klingon planet to mins, on a DME arc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aha! That's a trick question. Assuming the dilithium crystals are properly cut and aligned, the question is how much anti-matter will be required? Oops. My geek is showing...

Piloto Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 And let's not forget to calculate in the variation caused by black holes along our trip. Trip to where? If you had a star ship where would you go?. The most likely life form to be encounter is plant life. The most will find is a planet full of giant roaches that eat flesh for desert. The realities of space exploration. José Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After all the missions where the crystals were depleted I could never figure out why they never carried a spare set. Bad flight planning IMHO Rest in peace Spock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seth Posted March 4, 2015 Report Share Posted March 4, 2015 I think I know what happened to Spock. He was on an away team to some planet, and he accidentally wore a red shirt. Remember friends: Never wear a red shirt if find yourself on a Star Trek away team!! Isn't that why the commanders/captains wore red shirts on The Next Generation? As a tribute to that? It has since reverted back. During the reboot, I laughed to myself when the away team had the guy in the red shirt - I thought "He's dead." I read his autobiographies. First I Am Not Spock, and then I Am Spock. He died of COPD related breathing issues 30 years after quitting smoking. In all seriousness. Live Long and Prosper Mr. Spock. -Seth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
