Star Trek’s food replicator may soon become more science fact than science fiction. Back in May, 2013, NASA — as it sets its sights on manned missions to Mars — revealed that it was teaming up with Systems & Materials Research Consultancy (SMRC) on a 3D printer that can produce… food, and more specifically, pizza. SMRC actually won a six-month, $125,000 Small Business Innovation Research Grant from NASA to...
82 year old Leonard Nimoy has chronic lung disease
He has lived long and prospered. So it was understandable Star Trek legend Leonard Nimoy preferred to put his feet and get pushed through a bustling airport in New York on Monday.
