35 Years Ago Today, NASA Rolled the Space Shuttle Enterprise. The #StarTrek cast were on hand.
As we celebrate the 45th anniversary of Star Trek this month, it was 35 years ago on September 17, 1976 that NASA officials were greeted by the cast of Star Trek for the roll out of the test shuttle baring the same name as the vessel of the television series. Coincidentally, just months earlier this year, NASA ended the shuttle program.
From left to right they are: NASA Administrator Dr. James D. Fletcher; DeForest Kelley, who portrayed Dr. “Bones” McCoy on the series; George Takei (Mr. Sulu); James Doohan (Chief Engineer Montgomery “Scotty” Scott); Nichelle Nichols (Lt. Uhura); Leonard Nimoy (Mr. Spock); series creator Gene Rodenberry; an unnamed NASA official; and, Walter Koenig (Ensign Pavel Chekov).

A lucky kid visits the #StarWars TESB Dagobah set. Thanks to @CharlieTheGeek on Google+ for bringing it to my attention. I hadn’t seen it before until now, which is rare for me.

I wonder where Daniel is today and if he remembers his experience 31 years later.

Welcome to Louis Trapani is Trapped on Earth! A tumblelog by Louis Trapani. This site started out as one where I could quickly and easily share items of interest found on the net with others. For the most part, it still is, it's not my full featured blog (see Louis Trapani's blog). I also post some of my photographs I share via Instagram app on the iPhone here.

Visit my main site, arttrap.com (Art Trap Productions) where I maintain an actual blog and more. For more of my photos and videos watch my page on Mobli and Photo Focus on Mobli.

For all things Doctor Who, Torchwood, and related visit the Gallifreyan Embassy, home of the world renowned award winning Doctor Who podcast, Doctor Who: Podshock.
