R.I.P. Leonard Nimoy

Today, the world lost Leonard Nimoy, perhaps best remembered for his portrayal of Mr. Spock on Star Trek: The Original Series and in many subsequent films. He had also appeared in Fringe, Invasion of the Body Snatchers (1978 remake), Get Smart, The Man from U.N.C.L.E., Atlantis: The Lost Empire, Mission: Impossible (the original series), and the video game Civilization IV. His role as Spock is one of the most iconic roles of the 20th Century, and he has inspired many imitators, parodies, homages, etc. He will be surely missed by Trekkies and sci-fi fans. But he will also be missed because of his kindness and for inspiring a generation and generations to come to think rationally about the universe and explore it.
