Subject: William Shatner Provides Message to Shuttle Before Undocking
Mon, 07 Mar 2011 02:34:24 -0600
William Shatner, who played Captain James T. Kirk on the original Star Trek
television series, provided a special message to the crew of space shuttle
Discovery during the 3:23 a.m. EST wakeup call. As Alexander Courage¹s
theme song played underneath, Shatner replaced the original television
introduction with, ³Space, the final frontier. These have been the voyages
of the Space Shuttle Discovery. Her 30 year mission: To seek out new
science. To build new outposts. To bring nations together on the final
frontier. To boldly go, and do, what no spacecraft has done before.² The
³Theme from Star Trek² received the second most votes in a public contest
from a Top 40 list for NASA¹s Song Contest. The top two songs with the most
votes from that list earned a slot on the list to wake Discovery¹s crew
during its final mission. The total number of votes cast during the
four-month contest for STS-133 was 2,463,774. Of that, Star Trek received
671,134 votes (27.2 percent). Shatner recorded the new, special introduction
for Discovery¹s final voyage its 39th flight and 13th to the International
Space Station. Within a few hours, the song will be posted at:
http://www.archive.org/details/STS-133 Pilot Eric Boe will undock Discovery
from the space station at 7 a.m. and conduct a full-lap fly around of the
complex at 7:30 a.m., before separating from station at 8:43 a.m. Later in
the day, the crew will use the Orbiter Boom Sensor System to conduct a ³late
inspection² of the shuttle¹s heat shield.
