Details of the 11th Star Trek movie were announced yesterday by producer / director J.J. Abrams (whose credits include Armageddon and Mission Impossible III) in a presentation at Comic-Con in San Diego, CA. The film, to be released in Dec 2008, will star Zachary Quinto (Heroes) as the young Spock in this Star Wars-style prequel. Leonard Nimoy has also signed on to reprise his role.
One can only speculate if the fledgling Star Trek Federation, as featured in the new film, will allow their astronauts to fly drunk like NASA appears to have. In a recently released report, NASA confirmed it allowed un-named astronauts to fly under the influence of alcohol on two separate occasions, despite the fact that safety concerns were raised by fellow crew and medical experts.
