HOUSTON (AP) — The Star Trek shuttlecraft Galileo is landing in Houston to be displayed not far from NASA's Mission Control, which may have been able to help Dr. Spock all those years ago.
The Galileo is the shuttlecraft that crash-landed on a hostile planet in the 1967 episode "The Galileo Seven."
The Houston Chronicle (http://bit.ly/13w81eA ) reports the bit of Trekkie memorabilia was purchased by collector Adam Schneider for $61,000.

We arrived in San Marcos just after midnight on August 1, 1981. The last day of July 1981 was my last day on active duty with the United States Air Force.
The year before we had passed through San Marcos and stopped to say hello to our good friend, Jim Humphries. Jim, at that time, was the pastor of First Baptist Church, but he had been my pastor at Trinity Baptist Church on Cong Li Street in the old world city of Saigon.
