a list of officially sanctioned vulcan names as of May, 1965
tag yourself I’m Sponk
Me: Here are my sons, Spirk, Spunk and Spank
Look at Spirk added, twice.
The legendary memo mentioned on wikipedia. It’s real.
Greetings humans, I am Spank.
I can’t decide if I’m Splek or Spluk.
How did he even want Spxyx to be pronounced?
Actually, iirc this letter was sarcastic – Roddenberry liked the Sp-k idea for Vulcan names and Justman wanted to show him how weird it would get in practice.
Right now, in the year 2016, we are exactly in between the moon landing in 1969 and first contact with Vulcan in 2063.
The uncomfortable part is knowing that it gets worse before it gets better. Oh well everyone, brace for the Bell Riots!
My SO and I have been discussing how this election year in the US will probably lead to the Eugenics wars, and culminated in me shouting “I DON’T WANT GENE RODDENBERRY’S VISION OF THE FUTURE THIS BADLY”. He responded “It’s the way it has to be, as it was written.”
I’m only posting this bc I wasted so much time doing it
Anyway, Kirk wearing the “female uniform”
He would rock it. Just like everyone in TNG. Which I loved. So. Much.
Walk, walk, fashion, baby
OK, yes, that’s an excellent fancy dress uniform. But wait…TNG  has several men walking around the ship in every-day miniskirt uniforms. It just…happens sometimes:
I guess if you’re gonna have women in miniskirts, you should have dudes too. God I love that show. Though…who told him those boots were OK?
I love minidress guy from Farpoint. I just caught this episode on BBC America last weekend. <3
European Space Agency astronaut Samantha Cristoforetti, the first
Italian woman in space, took a moment to celebrate Captain Janeway at
around 250 miles above Earth. (CNET) (twitter)
i bet someone else has already posted this by now but i thought it was really cool bc now we officially have had a cosplay selfie in space lmao
also apparently this marks the first time a star trek uniform’s actually been worn in space i heard??? which is also awesome
She did it again today! Also, in the picture she’s drinking coffee brewed with an espresso machine specifically engineered to work on the International Space Station – the ISSpresso (made in Italy!).
