Personally I prefer my captain’s chair to have a little room to spread out, but on the other hand there’s something to be said for a nice headrest…

Robert McCall was an illustrator for Life Magazine and other publications, but is best known for being NASA’s primary artist for many years. He had a lifelong love of aviation and spaceflight, and the pre-production illustrations he made for Star Trek: The Motion Picture are marvelous.

#NoBodyTrek Energy. When Ambassador Kollos, an incorporeal being, assumed Spock’s physical form, he got to taste for a moment what it was like to be a creature of sensation. Nimoy was great in moments like this.

In The Trouble With Tribbles, Spock says it will take Cyrano Jones 17.9 years to clean up all the tribbles on the space station, which means he would've been finishing up just about in time to appear in the bar scene in Star Trek III... missed opportunity!

No one looked as good falling out of her chair as Nichelle Nichols: you can tell she was a trained dancer and knew how to use her body right up to her fingertips!

Star Trek had a long history with NASA and the aerospace industry. Everybody knows the story of the naming of the first Space Shuttle Enterprise after the tv starship, but even during the series a number of the cast and crew visited Edwards Air Force Base. Here’s a couple familiar faces!
