NASA Is Making 'Star Trek' Tech a Reality

"Star Trek" technologies are starting to become a reality in our everyday lives; just ask anyone who owns a cellphone or tries a virtual reality headset. But how real are these "Star Trek" technologies in space today, 50 years after the iconic science fiction series' TV debut? While the tech for warp drives and transporters remains elusive, NASA is using some technology in space that would be at home on the starship Enterprise.

NASA needs a guy named Spock that's only purpose is to say that "live long and prosper" thing with the hand gesture. But in fast motion and non stop while the astronauts are working.

On every mission.

Does art imitate life or does life imitate art? The way Science/technology has developed alongside Star Trek is amazing

If you think a PC is anything like Star Trek's holodecks then you don't understand either concept.

Apologies, briefly OT here, Leonard Nimoy got a few mentions in the William Shatner Roast on the TV last night, some of it was pretty darn funny too. Betty White was a crack up. 

Sorry, just thought you might like to know that I am a Trek fan myself. Takei copped a roasting too, but it was nice that nobody forgot good old Spock. I agree, he was a great character.

A Shatner roast eh ?

SHould be good ... I wonder if I could get a peek at it on the net ... good to know and thanks for the heads up

Good for Will too ... the fella aged well ... in fact I think he did his best stuff this decade ... Boston Legal stands out heads and shoulders for me  ... bet Nimoy was there too one way or another

~ much appreciated ~

Most welcome.

I am 99.9% sure it was Comedy Central, as such, it should be online someplace. It was on our Channel 9,  they have an online viewer, not sure if it can be viewed outside the country, but if it can, you should find it here

He did indeed age well, and he seemed to be in stitches laughing at himself most of the time, he is a good sport. Sulu (George Takei), having come out of the closet got quite a roasting along the way too, but he gave as good as he got I thought, all in good spirit. Andy Dick was there and seemed to not take it quite as well. Maybe his style, not sure, but I swear a couple of times he seemed really annoyed.
