Spock

The world is now a slightly less logical place.

NASA Astronaut Terry Virts took this from the ISS (note Boston, Leonard Nimoy's birthplace to the right of his hand and above Cape Cod)




Excellent tributes guys!

P.S. When these childhood idols die, it hits us a little doesn't it? Perhaps reminds us of our own mortality.
 
Who knows how much of that is actually true, sure The Great Shat has an ego but he's always had a cheesy charisma about him. Nimoy was more laid back, but I agree, he lived very well off Spocko. I wish I had seen TGS at Strattford. I was lucky enough to see Coriolanus with John Vernon in the title role. Fabulous Canadian actor who, these days, is only remembered for this:


Oh boy, was that Tom Hulce in there, the guy who played Amadeus?
 
A Piece of the Action remains my favorite ST episode - TGS chewed it up nicely. But Spocko did a much better gangster slang.

 
I would like to think that Leonard is sharing a glass of fine Saurian brandy with Gene, DeForest and James right now in that final frontier.

Thank you for the memories and for making my life that much richer, you will be missed.
