USS Enterprise's Chief Science Officer, Spock (Ethan Peck) and NASA's Miranda Fike stopped in for a real, honest to goodness tech briefing yesterday for about 4 hours! Pike takes his role as Science Officer Spock VERY seriously... ... and no, I did NOT ask him for the "live long and prosper sign." It really truly WAS a 4 hour discussion about launch, re-entry, hypersonic flight, Radio/radar, propulsion. Much respect.  (Message edited by Slaughter on January 08, 2020) | ||

Live Long and Prosper: The Jewish Story Behind Spock https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DyiWkWcR86I Kabbalah associates the shekhinah with the female. According to Gershom Scholem, "The introduction of this idea was one of the most important and lasting innovations of Kabbalism. ...no other element of Kabbalism won such a degree of popular approval."The "feminine Jewish divine presence, the Shekhinah, distinguishes Kabbalistic literature from earlier Jewish literature. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shekhinah --- The Blessing of Baphomet(half male/ half female). Since 1856, the name Baphomet has been associated with the "Sabbatic Goat" image drawn by Éliphas Lévi, which contains binary elements representing the "symbolization of the equilibrium of opposites" (e.g. half-human and half-animal, male and female, good and evil, on and off, etc.). On one hand, Lévi's intention was to symbolize his concept of balance that was essential to his magnetistic notion of the Astral Light; on the other hand, the Baphomet represents a tradition that should result in a perfect social order. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baphomet --- The One True Living God is Male. | ||

Very, very cool Steve! You've got a real dream job there. Making a difference in the Last Frontier. I'd probably so proud of myself I'd be insufferable.  |
