Old Furniture Scifi

Astro Physicist Stephen Hawking, the
splendid Nobel Laureate, the scientist who
occupies the Math seat at Cambridge once
occupied by Sir Isaac Newton, had a role in Roddenbury's
(Rotten and Buried?) Star Trek. In his book
The Universe in a Nutshell there's a photo of him, in his
wheelchair, sitting next to 'Marilyn Monroe'
aboard the Enterprise. I'll have to look up his
exact words about his little acting job for fun
and science popularizing. He didn't think much of
the ship, or the science it was telling tales about.
He thought it stodgy, old hat. Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha !
