Twenty three years ago today, Space Shuttle Columbia was lost when the vehicle broke up during reentry. The crew perished, including Indian-American astronaut Dr. Kalapana Chawla. I contributed to a low temperature physics experiment that flew with her on Columbia in late 1997.

Does it really say to use the Vulcan mind meld? Aren’t we using that a bit often? #TOSSatNight

I like that the Sheriff’s office has a sign that is painted in the Star Trek font used for the opening credits. #TOSSatNight

Deforest Kelley is at home in this episode. He played in many westerns. #TOSSatNight

Marvelous music score by Jerry Fielding. He later scored The Wild Bunch. #TOSSatNight

I love the partial sets designed by Matt Jefferies, both economical and surreal. It really adds to the alien sense of the place. #TOSSatNight

Had the pleasure of meeting new NASA Administrator Jared Isaacman during his visit to the Jet Propulsion Laboratory today. Looking forward to his leadership of the nation’s space program.

Same sound effect as the Martian war machine used in the George Pal War of the Worlds. #TOSSatNight

Fred Steiner wrote a fabulous music score for this episode, especially the attach cue, which sparkles with brilliance. It was recorded on July 12, 1968. #TOSSatNight

The Klingon D7 Battle Cruiser was developed by the AMT model kit company in exchange for the rights to sell it along with their Enterprise model. They hired Matt Jefferies to design it. Two master tooling models were made, one if which is now at the Smithsonian. #TOSSatNight
