On this day in 1976, NASA's prototype space shuttle
Enterprise was
rolled out of its assembly facility in Southern California and displayed
before a crowd of several thousand. Among those in attendance were most of the officers of
Star Trek's starship NCC-1701, including
Leonard Nimoy, future Internet superstar
George Takei, an apparently sleepy
DeForest Kelly, and a gloriously bearded
Jimmy Doohan.
Christopher, I absolutely LOVE your blog and everything you post here. These were all the shows and whatnot that I loved as a kid. Do you have Facebook page or Twitter for this blog? Thanks.
ReplyDeleteYeah, there's a Facebook page. I don't have a separate Twitter feed, but you can follow me at @AtomicPulp.
DeleteGreat! I found the Facebook and it looks like I already follow you on Twitter. Thanks. Keep up the great work!
DeleteBTW, my brother doesn't have internet, and I've told him this blog is the #1 reason to get it. :)
Had this been one year later, they probably would've named it the Millennium Falcon.
ReplyDeleteI remember it like yesterday... It was a super bright day on the tarmac, so I'm sure De was reacting to the sun. Great pic sir.
