These are the stories of the stars. From science fiction to the space program, to tech geeks.
Let us boldly go.

I sat in Capt. Kirk's chair. It was a traveling exhibit that came to NASA.

I watch every SpaceX launch, and am determined to retire on Mars, even if my life there is very short. It's what my old man would have wanted.  |

For instance, when the name Michael Collins is mentioned, i think of the commander of Apollo 11. He is the first person to ever be alone cut off from the rest of mankind.  |

Michael Collins is the only human being, alive or dead, who isn't in this picture.

I must follow every astronaut on Twitter, regardless of nationality. This is from Tayuka Onishi, the Japanese astronaut currently on the ISS;  |

When I was in college I had to take a gen ed science class, so I took a basic level astronomy class. The best part was when we got to do observations. The one that stands out is getting to see Saturn, rings and all. If you are ever in central PA, Penn State has stargazing nights through the astronomy club: astro.psu.edu/public-outreach/stargazing |

Sex: The final frontier
These are the voyages of the Starship, ILIASM
Its 5 year mission
To explore strange sexual practices
To seek out new positions and marital aids
To boldly go where no man has gone before
-
cue music

Cut to first scene -
Lt Uhura is leaning over the consul pointing out the course to Helmsman Chekov, wobbling her tits under his nose. Her skirt has risen up revealing her see through panties and behind her Captain Kirk is getting a suspicious lump in his trousers whilst Spock remains impassive as ever.
Scotty enters stage left, his pants around his ankles as he strokes his engorged organ
"I canna hold her Captain ----- she's gonna bloooow" he cries and ejaculates thickly over the communication system, which quickly shorts, sparks, smokes and burns out.
"Good one idiot" Spock snarls, and turns on his heel to walk out, his taut muscular buttocks causing Sulu to drool uncontrollably.
-
Capt Kirk quickly establishes order. "Get one of them extra's in the red tops to clean up the comms" he barks "and they'll be first to be beamed down and killed at our next stop, and Sulu, plot a course to Your Anus" (rest of crew titter and giggle at this pronounciation)
Shhhhht goes the door and Bones McCoy enters. He is haggard and tired having spent days treating the latest dose of clap that has infected 70% of the ships company.
"Where are we going Jim ?" he enquires.
"Your A...." Jim pauses uncertainly as a new burst of laughter sweeps through the room, finally saying "er....Pluto".
(if anyone cares to add another scene, feel free)
