I could kind of see in my head how much fun this was going to be. And I think I really wanted to do it. Crusher are stuck in the cargo bay, and they have to empty it out into space to save the ship. Was that always the character combo or did you consider others?
I remember being fascinated by the idea of them being in a vacuum and I wanted, originally, to see them maybe put a spacesuit on. And there's a great scene in where someone goes into the Discovery through the vacuum of space and survives. Crusher] trapped in the cargo bay and having to expose themselves to a vacuum was a lot of fun.
He was helping me try to explain, dramatically, why that would actually work on the ship and how it would be scientifically plausible. Yes, [on the Enterprise-E in First Contac t] I think we had lightning and some rain or something in the shaft. Oh yeah. As you were talking about it earlier, I remembered that about the turboshaft scene.
And he was trying to keep them safe and keep ascending, but it would be dangerous because the rain would make the ladder slippery. So he was trying to talk to them, to help them focus and hold on. And then somebody slips, and of course he grabbed them just in time, but there was no way at the time they would go for it.
It was just too expensive. You have to remember, we barely would go outside to shoot. It was mostly on stages to keep budget down. Bezos himself opened the hatch to check everyone inside was OK. After the immediate celebrations with family and friends, the crew then lined up to receive their Blue Origin astronaut pins.
NS18 pic. This was only the second crewed outing for New Shepard. Afterwards, Funk, being 82, was able to claim the record for the oldest person in space - a title she has now relinquished to Shatner. The launch comes amid claims that Blue Origin has a toxic work culture and failed to adhere to proper safety protocols. The mostly anonymous accusations made by former and present employees have been strenuously denied.
Safety has always been our top priority. Shatner may have been the first person to go from Star Trek's version of space to the real thing - but three Nasa astronauts have made the opposite journey.

To a demographic that heretofore has not known anything about Star Trek? If there's any age group that's going to take this thing and embrace it with a whole-heartedness not seen before, it's the young kids. With the exception of Wil Wheaton, the cast was uniformly superb.
Patrick Stewart had a lot to live up to as a successor to William Shatner's Kirk. With his magnetic presence and wonderful acting chops, he's crafted a very different individual from Kirk, and probably my favorite Trek character, period. Jonathan Frakes made for a likeable, intriguing Commander Riker, who's occasional rowdiness reminded me a bit of good old Kirk. Brent Spiner is simply terrific as the android, Data, who aspires to be more human.
I can't imagine anyone else in the role, which is probably the highest praise you could give to an acting performance. Michael Dorn excelled as the tough Klingon Worf, Levar Burton was immensely likeable as chief engineer Laforge, and rounding out the cast were the series' two sexy and smart women, Marina Sirtis as Counselor Troi and Gates Mcfadden as Dr.
Crusher the latter of whom looks even more beautiful now than she did in her first season on TNG. The series has had a barrage of standout episodes, whether it was with suspenseful ventures into the unknown the first appearance of the Borg to the ultimate cliffhanger in The Best of Both Worlds, The Next Generation was an exercise in masterful storytelling and vivid characterization.
I have only seen one episode of Enterprise and clearly, it didn't make much of an impression on me , but I had sporadically watched DS9 and Voyager, enough to know neither of them were overall quite as compelling as TNG the only aspect they definitely had over TNG were in the sets and visual effects.
For me, that's rather odd, since I often have a preference for a TV series that follows through a central storyline, as both DS9 and Voyager have, but it simply goes to show how each stand-alone episode of TNG made an impression.
