I <3 William Shatner on Twitter

[lifeisducky]

I love how they respond to him, as if he is actually a captain, even more.

Nasa confirmed for huge fucking nerds

This is awesome and priceless and people that work on space stuff are the best people of all time.

Honestly this just about brings me to tears.

Roddenberry, Shatner, Nimoy, Nichols and all the rest of the original Star Trek cast and crew had no small role in making the moon landing as important as it was.  A few years before they set that lunar module down, this little TV show came along and fanned the dream into wildfire with an image of what humanity in space could actually look like—not only peaceful on our own world, endlessly curious, and prosperous enough to pursue it, but an active force for good in the greater universe.  Carrying not what’s most toxic about us, but what’s best about us out to the stars.

Everybody who has worked at NASA or any other space agency for the past 50 years is waiting for the day when that unmanned probe doing a flyby on a comet can be controlled from the bridge of a space-faring vessel.  When we’re not just looking at that comet through a color-coded sonar map, but we can look out a porthole and see it tumbling by with our own eyes.  When as a species we can finally outgrow hate and fear and violence, and turn our faces with joy toward all the beauties and wonders that lie waiting to be discovered.

And every time he does this, Shatner is reminding them of what that hope feels like.

Be the cliche you've always dreamed of

[sp-oc-k-blog]

Scotty, what the fuck are you doing?

SCIENCE.

[spockfucker]

Since Vulcans are said to be descended from cats I always imagine Spock doing that thing where cats peek out from the corner of something looking ready to pounce and I laugh.

omfg there is too much potential with feline spock

KIRK THIS WHY YOU GOTTA FILL OUT THE LOG

[alexandra-erin]

I’ve heard the theory that Kirk’s logs just get circulated round headquarters for lulz before being dumped in the circular file as obvious fabrications by someone bored with a frontier posting. “Hey, have you seen this one? He says he fought Apollo.” “What, the old earth probe?” “Try the old earth GOD!” “Hilarious! Classic Kirk! That’s better than the time when he was transported to an evil dimenison.” The reason why in The Naked Now it was Riker who remembered that the previous polywater infection had happened is that he’s the sort of person who would read The Hilarious Adventures of Captain Kirk for fun.

[airyairyquitecontrary-deactivat]

I especially like this idea because of the implication that all the other captains in Starfleet are reporting perfectly ordinary experiences like visiting a space station, dropping off supplies at a colony, bit of a stand-off with some Klingons in disputed space but got out of it unscathed - and then there’s Kirk all, “sorry guys we’ve been off course this week because my first officer seriously needed to get laid (LIKE YOU HAVE NO IDEA MY NECK STILL HURTS)” and “let me tell you about the Chicago Gangster planet” and “WHIPPED AND THROWN IN JAIL BY SPACE NAZIS.”

[startrekships]

I actually really like the above explanation

[quasi-normalcy]

“So wait, they stole his first officer’s brain?”

[thefingerfuckingfemalefury]

“What do you MEAN he just stumbled upon earths most notorious war criminal and just…LEFT HIM on a random planet”

“That’s what it says here

And then the rest of it is just ‘KHAAAAAAAAAAAN’ written across two sheets of A4″

“You need to tell Kirk to stop making this nonsense up”

[iamherjawn]

Here is the (unofficial) XKit extension to fix post reblogs (+ instructions)

This is likely to be buggy and imperfect, and is definitely not totally optimized, but it is at least a start at fixing the atrocity that is the new reblog structure.
