Rest in peace, Leonard. Thank you for inspiring so many to look up, to reach for the stars, to think critically, and in our own little way, wonder, if only for a moment, what it is to be human. Thank you for showing us Gene's vision of a greater universe, where humanism can endure and science and exploration is not something to be afraid of. Thank you for also showing us a vision of noble military service. Godspeed your next voyage.

Very eloquent. The word "icon" is over-used these days, but Nimoy/Spock was a true icon of the 20th century.
