The head is moveable from left to right (by hand, not motorized). [random-good-stuff]

Trekkies, watch out – Star Trek, The Animated Series will be released on December 31, 1969 and Amazon is now taking your orders. I bet they think this is great timing, considering Americans just landed on the moon this year.

“Space.com has posted a Top 10 Space Movies of All Time list based on reader ratings on each movie. Apollo 13 is currently the #1 movie, followed by Star Trek: First Contact at #2, and Wrath of Khan at #3. I was surprised by Apollo 13 at #1, since I initially equated space movies with sci-fi. However, I don’t disagree with it. What do other Slashdotters think, or suggest as good space movies?”

We invite friends and fans around the world to compose a tribute to Mr. Doohan, to honor him on his journey to Earth orbit. Your name and message will be placed on board the spacecraft currently scheduled for launch in the first quarter of 2006. Please enter your message below.

You are also invited to attend a public memorial service, scheduled the day before the launch at the Space Endeavor Center, Vandenberg Air Force Base, California.
