Well any fellow trekkies out there. Spock is really dead this time. Leonard Nimoy died Friday February 27, 2015 (See Also TMZ) at the age of 88. Perhaps Leonard found someone to pass his katra to. Dear God I love that Star Trek character. Live long and prosper.

CLIP DESCRIPTION:

Kirk (William Shatner) and Sulu (George Takei) rescue McCoy (DeForest Kelley) from jail.

FILM DESCRIPTION:

When last we left the crew of the star ship Enterprise, they were heading home following a skirmish with the despotic Khan. The unpleasant incident had cost the life of Mr. Spock (Leonard Nimoy)--or so it seemed. Admiral Kirk (William Shatner) is informed by Spock's father Sarek (Mark Lenard) that his son is being kept alive in the thoughts of one of the crew members. It now becomes necessary to search for Spock's body, so that flesh and soul can be rejoined on Vulcan. It turns out that Spock's spirit is residing within the mind of the Vulcan's longtime shipmate, "Bones" McCoy (DeForrest Kelley). Finding the body is another matter, since the Enterprise has been consigned to the trash heap and thus is out of Kirk's jurisdiction.

Sci-Fi Star Trek Moves to Realm of Science Reality

I am a trekkie and sci-fi fan, well mostly in my youth than now. But still with that background I was fascinated to come across some military information that is in the early stages of development.

The British military techs have invented what amounts to a Star Trek style force field to aid in protecting armored vehicles with tanks in mind particularly. I say the early stages because it is not a case of the order going to “raise shields”. The stage that has developed so far is to enable a “supercapacitor” to dump energy into the outer armor plating forming an electro-magnetic field to repel missiles. The problem at this stage of development is that the supercapacitor only delivers the energy for about a second and that was to be time with the estimated impact of the missile.

In my opinion the limitations do not match the reality of an organized attack on tanks. Nonetheless, the potential for future innovation is quite exciting to speculate about. Expanding research could send man to no place he has gone before.
