o7 Cmdrs.

As a lot of you might have read in the news, Nichelle Nichols aka Lt. Uhura (Star Trek TOS) has passed away...
So I would recommend a station named after her like "Leonard Nimoy Station".

Even after her appearence on the TV Shows, and her work for NASA motivated several people to work for the space agency.

Kirk and Uhura - first ever on-screen interracial kiss.

Also remembered an old joke.

Kirk: Uhura!

Uhura: Yes Captain?

Kirk: Nothing, i was just clearing my throat.

Given the US supreme court are looking to ban that next, almost as relevant today as it was then, too.

It's like someone took the world on a slingshot around the sun recently.

So pretty much every actor has died except Kirk, Sulu and Chechov? Well the guys in the red suits always getting killed but I would love to hear from them seeing what they are doing in real life. God bless Nichelle Nichols who will live on film forever and as I'm getting very old who knows maybe our kids in the 22nd century will be watching her and make important decisions in their lives. William Shatner racing horses in Kentucky well maybe not where our kids will get inspiration.
