The world lost one of science fiction's greatest treasures, Leonard Nimoy, on Friday.
Not only was his role as Spock an inspiration, but he also enriched his life beyond Star Trek as a writer, photographer, voice actor, musician, father, husband and friend. Nimoy motivated people to become astronauts, to become artists -- and, most of all, to be themselves.
And for that, we thank you, Mr. Spock.
