1:14:00
from radiation burns.
1:14:04
This is Captain Pike's total
life support unit, as you can see.
1:14:08
It encompasses the entire body
except for the head,
1:14:11
and it supports life and takes him
wherever he needs to go.
1:14:15
The beautiful simplicity
of the way it works
1:14:18
is that you can ask him
a yes or no question,
1:14:20
kind of like a binary computer,
1:14:22
and for yes, it's one blink,
1:14:25
and for no, it's two blinks.
1:14:27
So if you ask me any question,
I can just answer with a yes or a...
1:14:32
no, just like that.
1:14:33
It's motorized,
so I drive it around.
1:14:35
I drive it in parades and stuff.
1:14:39
Hi. Is Craig around?
1:14:43
I think he set aside some
stuff for me, some parts--
1:14:47
an H.P. 12-volt unit
and some transistors and a relay.
1:14:55
I talked to Craig
about my Nomad project,
1:14:58
and he, um, he said I could
maybe use the 3.9 ohm resistors
1:15:03
or the 270s.
1:15:05
Do you think I could get away
with it with the 270s?
1:15:08
For my next project, I'm going
to build a dilithium chamber
1:15:11
after I'm done with Nomad,
1:15:13
and I'm going to build
some antigravs, too, after that.
1:15:16
Maybe an M-5 computer.
1:15:18
And I'm going to connect
my house with Jefferies tubes.
1:15:20
I got a lot of projects, like,
down the road to do, to build.
1:15:24
Star Trek, I think, has had
a lot of impact on the future.
1:15:27
I mean, we have
cellular flip phones.
1:15:29
They have nuclear-powered
rocket engines already that will
I'm sure take us to Mars,
1:15:33
and basically, all
science fiction now is true.
1:15:43
Star Trek has always been
a real fun part of my life.
1:15:46
As a matter of fact, it was
one of the big motivators for me
going to the Air Force Academy.
1:15:50
It encouraged me
to go out and study,
1:15:52
and being that Star Trek
took place in space,
1:15:55
it turned my interest towards
things of a space nature,
1:15:59
such as astronomy
and astrophysics.
