Robert McCall was an illustrator for Life Magazine and other publications, but is best known for being NASA’s primary artist for many years. He had a lifelong love of aviation and spaceflight, and the pre-production illustrations he made for Star Trek: The Motion Picture are marvelous.

In The Trouble With Tribbles, Spock says it will take Cyrano Jones 17.9 years to clean up all the tribbles on the space station, which means he would've been finishing up just about in time to appear in the bar scene in Star Trek III... missed opportunity!

No one looked as good falling out of her chair as Nichelle Nichols: you can tell she was a trained dancer and knew how to use her body right up to her fingertips!

Apollo used his godlike powers to conjure a dress for Lt. Palamas; Captain Kirk on the other hand had an old bathrobe in his closet
