The Vulcan homeworld, also named Vulcan, was mentioned in the original series, and in the script-adaptation anthology Star Trek 2, author James Blish put the planet in orbit around the star 40 Eridani A, 16 light years from Earth, an identification later adopted by Roddenberry.[10] Vulcan is a reddish Minshara-Class planet.



Very few tv shows changed the world as much as star trek and right in the begging some tv executives said it would not last

He was a magnificent actor and will be sadly missed.
Anyone remember that episode of TJ Hooker where Leonard Nimoy played a cop who's daughter got raped?

A possible Spock response to his own ending by people around him all sad:

Curious... (and he would raise one eyebrow)
(of course he would not be able to it as he has passed on)

UK
"live long and prosper, peace and long life"
(I think he had both)
