"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us.

It was late in his career when I met Leonard -- 2010 at the Space Foundation’s annual Space Symposium. The altitude of Colorado Springs (6,000+ feet) was already affecting his weakened lungs, his frailty already apparent.
But a trooper he was, and for an hour at the Space Technology Hall of Fame dinner, he held 1,200 rocket scientists, astronauts and engineers in thrall as he described his journey Where No Man Had Gone Before.
To be present was to see a room full of the most brilliant people in the world, reduced to child-like glee by the personal connection that Leonard made with all of them.
Thanks, Leonard Nimoy, for helping to shape an optimistic view of our future, and reminding us that there are always possibilities.
