RIP Leonard Nimoy

[greatbear]

Leonard Nimoy, actor who played Mr Spock on Star Trek, dies aged 83.

“Of my friend, I can only say this: of all the souls I have encountered in my travels, his was the most… human.”

You might be gone, but your influence on so many, especially in science and space exploration, will live long and prosper.

I'm really broken up about this.

He actually was. He worked tirelessly advocating for science and research, and in recent years became a fierce advocate for gay marriage and rights. Out of his Spock character he was a true mensch, and he played a character that was supposed to be entirely devoid of emotion and affection, but came across as the voice of reason, and with lots of compassion.
