Leonard Nimoy just passed away - RIP!

I have always been a fan of Leonard Nimoy and Spock was always my favourite Star Trek character. I am sad to hear of his passing.
 
His final tweet:
"A life is like a garden. Perfect moments can be had, but not preserved, except in memory." ~ Leonard Nimoy. So poignant! Everyones last words now are on twitter and facebook and clever.

My last recorded note will probably be something like "Hey, we are out of sugar cookies. WTH.."
 
@KingRT10. Nimoy said he stopped all of that 30 years ago but he reckons it still caught up with him... The thought of it just takes my breath away.
 
Let's face it. Gene Roddenberry was largely an unheralded genius. The social issues he took on at the time were largely unappreciated. Take Wrath of Khan and eugenics. How many people realize the U.S. was at the forefront of eugenics research in the early 1900s and were one extremely small step away from becoming what Nazi Germany became? (Not to mention our leading scientists err racial hygienists who worked hand with the financial assistance of Carnegie, Rockefeller and Harriman to purify the white race---plus with the German scientists who later became Hitler's medical henchman?) or the first on TV interracial kiss. Etc. Etc.

Yup, knew this long ago.
 
Wow! I just heard Leonard Nimoy and his wife built a brand new theater called the Event Horizon Theater at Griffith Observatory and I just heard that a rename of the whole observatory in his honor is in the works (whatever that means), to "The Griffith Leonard Nimoy Observatory"! We will see if this comes to be. There was more to Leonard Nimoy than met the eye, I'm still hearing tributes to him on the radio as in the rock stations are playing tid bits of him from Star Trek as bumpers! He must have been really something, more than I ever knew about. I think he and Gene Roddenberry had similar views.
