Unusually, I think, for a TOS Kirk stan, the "Risk is our business" speech is not one of my personal favorites from him, but I still appreciate it for what it is, and what it was at the time.

Its episode, "Return to Tomorrow" (arguably a kind of Platonic ideal of TOS episodes: not the greatest, but very intensely Star Trek), was filmed between November 20th and November 28th of 1967 and aired the following February, in 1968. The Apollo moon landing of fifty-seven years ago today took place over a year after that, 20 July 1969.

So I thought some of you all might enjoy it on this blessèd occasion:

They used to say if man could fly, he'd have wings. But he did fly. He discovered he had to. Do you wish that the first Apollo mission hadn't reached the moon, or that we hadn't gone on to Mars and then to the nearest star? That's like saying you wish that you still operated with scalpels and sewed your patients up with catgut like your great-great-great-great-grandfather used to. I'm in command. I could order this. But I'm not, because Dr. McCoy is right in pointing out the enormous danger potential in any contact with life and intelligence as fantastically advanced as this. But I must point out that the possibilities, the potential for knowledge and advancement is equally great. Risk! Risk is our business. That's what the starship is all about! That's why we're aboard her! You may dissent without prejudice. Do I hear a negative vote?

I translated the comic dialogue using a translation tool, so please excuse any awkward phrasing.

i think all quiet on the western front and the lord of the rings are in direct conversation with each other, as in theyre the retelling of the same war with one saying here’s what happened, we all died, and it did not matter at all and another going hush little boy, of course we won, of course your friends came back

[bauliya]

someone should remake lord of the rings as a grandfather telling a fantasy story to his grand child with flashbacks to world war one showing the dead boys and men the characters were based on. grandpa why didn’t they just fly. because they didn’t. they didn’t.

[bauliya]

i’m fine

I will never get over how Tolkien & Lewis took the horrors of war and spun them into fantasy.

Shivering in the trenches dreaming of cozy hobbit holes, shaking as bombs pockmark a forest and imagining each shallow mud-filled crater contains a new world—that maybe there are still as many beautiful things in the universe as there are bombs—that maybe the world is bigger than this moment and this ugliness and one day this will be a peaceful forest again full of small ponds.

I mean look at these photos of the shell craters in Sanctuary Woods, near Ypres Belgium and tell me it’s not the Wood Between The Worlds:

[laurenthemself]

…oh.

[changelingchilde9]

It’s also the Dead Marshes.

[aro-ace-from-outer-space22]

Yeah, The Dead Marshes is literally just The Mud That Ate People in Belgium

After the War of Wrath, Maglor cast the Silmaril into the sea and left his people behind. He wandered alone along the shores of the world, accompanied only by the tides, the birds, and his unending songs of regret.

After all the mental exhaustion lately, the emotional upheavals, there's something deeply satisfying about swimming in the ocean during summer time. You have something to work against, let yourself drift in the waves and fall asleep immediately in the afternoon.
