It's mostly silicone. So I just troweled it into the wound, and it'll act like a bandage until it heals. Take a look.

How? Astronomers put it this way: Ff^2 (MgE) - C^1R1^1 x M = L/So Or to put it in simpler terms, by multiplying the 400,000,000,000 galaxies (star clusters) in the heavens by an estimation of average stars per galaxy (7,700,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000), we have the approximate number of stars in the universe, as we understand it now. And so… …if only one in a billion of these stars isa “sun” with a planet… …and only one in a billion of these is of earth size and composition… …there would still be something near 2,800,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 worlds with a potential of oxygen-carbon life… or… (by the most conservative estimates of chemical and organic probability), something like three million worlds with a chance of intelligent life and social evolution similar to our own. ~ <a href="/wiki/Gene_Roddenberry" title="Gene Roddenberry">Gene Roddenberry</a></figcaption></figure> <figure typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Star_Trek_crew_members.jpg" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/44/Star_Trek_crew_members.jpg/200px-Star_Trek_crew_members.jpg" decoding="async" width="200" height="265" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/44/Star_Trek_crew_members.jpg/300px-Star_Trek_crew_members.jpg 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/4/44/Star_Trek_crew_members.jpg/400px-Star_Trek_crew_members.jpg 2x" data-file-width="966" data-file-height="1279" /></a><figcaption>Well, when I was nine years old, Star Trek came on, I looked at it and I went screaming through the house.

Nimoy was the only charismatic actor in the cast and, ironically, he played the only character not allowed to register emotion. This was in the days before series characters were allowed to grow and change, before episodic television was allowed to have a through line. So it didn’t matter which episode you might be watching, from which year — the characters were exactly the same. As science fiction, the series was trapped in the 1930s — a throwback to spaceship adventure stories with little regard for science or deeper ideas. It was sci-fi as seen by Hollywood: all spectacle, no substance. <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Orson_Scott_Card" title="Orson Scott Card">Orson Scott Card</a>, <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://www.outsidethebeltway.com/orson_scott_card_star_trek_was_bad_science_fiction/">"Orson Scott Card: Star Trek Was Bad Science Fiction</a>, James Joyner, Outside The Beltway, May 3, 2004</li></ul></li></ul> <ul><li>One of the truths I've been telling lately is that Kirk and Spock are not lovers... they're not even boyfriends.

They'd land on a planet and there are all these <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papier-mache" class="extiw" title="w:Papier-mache">papier-mâché</a> boulders. [Laughs.] But it didn't matter because it was really talking about a notion of a common humanity and a confidence in our ability to solve problems. A recent movie captured the same spirit—<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Martian_(film)" class="extiw" title="w:The Martian (film)">The Martian</a>. Not because it had a hugely complicated plot, but because it showed a bunch of different people trying to solve a problem. And employing creativity and grit and hard work, and having confidence that if it’s out there, we can figure it out. That is what I love most about America and why it continues to attract people from all around the world for all of the challenges that we face, that spirit of "Oh, we can figure this out." And what I value most about science is this notion that we can figure this out. Well, we're gonna try this—if it doesn't work, we're gonna figure out why it didn't work and then we're gonna try something else. And we will revel in our mistakes, because that is gonna teach us how to ultimately crack the code on the thing that we're trying to solve. And if we ever lose that spirit, then we're gonna lose what is essential about America and what I think is essential about being human. <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Barack_Obama" title="Barack Obama">Barack Obama</a>, <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="https://www.wired.com/2016/10/president-obama-mit-joi-ito-interview/">“BARACK OBAMA, NEURAL NETS, SELF-DRIVING CARS, AND THE FUTURE OF THE WORLD”</a>, Scott Dadish, Wired, (November 2016)</li></ul></li></ul> <ul><li>Star Trek, like any good story, says that we're all complicated, and we've all got a little bit of Spock and a little bit of Kirk [laughs] and a little bit of Scotty, maybe some Klingon in us, right?

How come [the writers] don't appreciate that?" It was a very natural reaction. I said to Shatner, "If we had an <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eskimo" class="extiw" title="w:Eskimo">Eskimo</a> as a second character, you could be sure the Eskimo would get the most delightful lines because of what he is." I advised him not to worry about Spock because all that reflected on Shatner, particularly if Shatner continued to treat Spock properly in the show. I suggested they should show each other a lot of friendship in the show and it would eventually right itself. And, indeed, it did eventually right itself. <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Gene_Roddenberry" title="Gene Roddenberry">Gene Roddenberry</a>, from personal conversations with Gene in 1990 at La Costa, CA (as cited by Susan Sackett).</li></ul></li></ul> <ul><li>Star Trek offers an almost infinite number of exciting Science Fiction stories, thoroughly practical for television? How? Astronomers put it this way: Ff^2 (MgE) - C^1R1^1 x M = L/So Or to put it in simpler terms, by multiplying the 400,000,000,000 galaxies (star clusters) in the heavens by an estimation of average stars per galaxy (7,700,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000), we have the approximate number of stars in the universe, as we understand it now. And so… …if only one in a billion of these stars is a "sun" with a planet... [T]here would still be something near 2,800,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 worlds with a potential of oxygen-carbon life... [O]r...(by the most conservative estimates of chemical and organic probability), something like three million worlds with a chance of intelligent life and social evolution similar to our own. <ul><li><a href="/wiki/Gene_Roddenberry" title="Gene Roddenberry">Gene Roddenberry</a>, <a rel="nofollow" class="external text" href="http://leethomson.myzen.co.uk/Star_Trek/1_Original_Series/Star_Trek_Pitch.pdf">Star Trek Pitch</a>, March 11, 1964.</li></ul></li></ul> <ul><li>The time is somewhere in the future.
