Does it trouble anyone that the US Constitution vests all war powers authority in the Congress, but the Executive branch is waging war without Congress having any involvement?

It seems pretty preposterous that NASA would not spot someone laying on the gantry swing-arm fiddling with the rocket.

Shown in this episode is Apollo 4, the first flight test of the Saturn V moon rocket and the first launch of a rocket from the Kennedy Space Center launch pad 39A, now a SpaceX launch pad for the Falcon-9 and Falcon Heavy launch vehicles.

If you make the trek to Ticonderoga, you can see the costume worn by Teri Garr as Roberta Lincoln, designed by William Ware Theiss. When Roddenberry wanted the skirt shortened, Theiss told him it would then not drape properly becuase it was cut on the bias. It was shortened anyway.

Orbiting nuclear weapons featured in Kubrick’s movie as well. The Star Child returns to Earth and the first act is to detonate them in space, much like Gary Seven.

The Enterprise makes a largely unmotivated time travel to a cloudless Earth (original series effects) of the 1960s. Like Kubrick’s movie 2001: a space odyssey, alien beings have dispatched agents (Gary Severn and Isis) to save humanity from self-destruction in the nuclear age.

This is a rare opportunity to see the different production styles between the original series on DS-9. Camera placement is different and the acting is also different.

To be honest, I prefer the way the Klingons are portrayed in the original series compared to what they become in later series. They have sophistication, wit, and style.

In our modern world, surrounded by cameras and microphones, it’s quaint how they speak candidly in these stories as if it never occurred to them that they’re being surveilled. $TOSSatNight

The producers had a problem figuring out how to get the Enterprise crew down to the planet quickly. They gave the problem to a young David Gerald, writer of THE TROUBLE WITH TRIBBLES, who solved it in a day: have Norman simply say they have all been beamed down. Done and dusted.

Although this is considered one of the comedy episodes, there is good science fiction here, drama, and an ensemble cast working together to solve problems. And, we get to see a number of twins enlisted for the cast.

This long interview with Marcia Lucas, George Lucas’ first wife, is revealing and poignant. She won an Oscar for editing the original Star Wars film and brought much of the heart to his movies. When they divorced, he erased her from his life and from their shared history.

Twenty three years ago today, Space Shuttle Columbia was lost when the vehicle broke up during reentry. The crew perished, including Indian-American astronaut Dr. Kalapana Chawla. I contributed to a low temperature physics experiment that flew with her on Columbia in late 1997.
