....and, today, on October 13th, 2021, William Shatner (Star Trek's immortal "Captain Kirk") boldly went "where no other 90 year old man had gone before." Wink

Mr. Shatner was quite overcome with his "out-of-this-world" experience, and stated: "I never want to get over this."

Who would have thought, over 50 years ago, that "Captain Kirk" would, one day in the distant future, travel amongst the stars.......(!!)

"Star Trek"* lives! Very Happy

A historic day, indeed!

Like millions of others, I was glued to my TV screem earlier watching space history being made, with the splashdown of the "ARTEMIS". off the coast of San Diego.

\Back in the 60s, I was totally mesmerized by the APOLLO and GEMINI missions (TV coverage sponsored by "GULF"!) Wink

NEVER ONCE missed a launch of a splashdown (if either of these took place on a school day, all regular work stopped so each class could watch space history unfolding live on a glittering black-and-white screen!

The legendary 19th centuey fantasy/science fiction/adventure writer Jules Verne even envisioned COAL-POWERED "rocket trains", carrying passengers to the Moon!! Shocked

Truly wonderful that a new generation of young people can experience the drama, excitement, and thrills my generation once experienced, so many years ago! Very Happy

"WELCOME, HOME, ARTEMIS!" Very Happy
