He played Cmdr. Jeffrey Sinclair in the first season of <i>Babylon 5</i>. He died of a heart attack - he was 60.<br /><br />He was a bit wooden (and I never quite believed him as a romantic lead) but given enough time, I think he would've settled in quite nicely.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059293386881623259.post-54281528140225078982012-10-02T22:52:47.598-04:002012-10-02T22:52:47.598-04:00Herb actually had a small role as a reporter in Ap...Herb actually had a small role as a reporter in Apollo 13.

That's the same line NASA uses, close enough to think we will see it in a lifetime. But far enough away to not happen. <br /><br />If these guys were serious, we could build a starship today. A lot of research was done, the basic concept worked. But sadly politics is why it will never happen. After all you can't detonate nuclear weapons in space. Look up Project Orion, it was a fantastic concept. Parts of it are still classified. <br /><br />Commander Maxhttp://www.the-grey-ghost.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059293386881623259.post-764165847503954502012-10-02T11:54:56.979-04:002012-10-02T11:54:56.979-04:00ScyFy -

On TV, function can follow form, but in the real world, form follows function, and "How does it photograph?" will be the last thing on anyone's mind!<br /><br />But I find it somewhat reassuring that people are at least thinking about this stuff. :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059293386881623259.post-69418327250336164412012-10-02T11:51:34.075-04:002012-10-02T11:51:34.075-04:00Nice work Scott and nice change of pace on the Tre...Nice work Scott and nice change of pace on the Trek articles! :D<br /><br />I'd love to see us build an Enterprise, but I doubt we ever will. It sounds like future spaceships will be kind of small and dull. In fact, I think we're more likely to build a Borg ship than an Enterprise because in space you don't need a particular shape.ScyFyterryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12635510395140863437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7059293386881623259.post-1865757542521406042012-10-02T11:24:13.967-04:002012-10-02T11:24:13.967-04:00Of course. :-)
