Thread: The Sci-Fi connection

    The Sci-Fi connection

    To some, electric cars are a "thing of the future", part of science fiction.

    Tesla's chairman shares his activities at Tesla with his Space-X company with a goal to send people to Mars. (Again the stuff of science fiction at the moment).

    Darkstar, & Whitestar product code names were reportedly taken from science fiction movies.

    Does anyone have a photo of Aptera's CEO?

    Because you know, if there's a car that looks like a prop from a sci-fi movie, the Aptera is it. (With a nod to the Corbin Sparrow/Myers NMG too, of course.)

    I would never have made the connection between Ze'ev Drori and Patrick Stewart. This might be a better comparison. . .




    That's Roger Delgado, who was the first actor to play "The Master" in the Dr. Who TV series.

    Steady chaps. Grand Moff Drori isn't really the issue.

    So any reference to Ironman Tony Stark is fair game right?

    The world loves to be deceived.

    Thanks TEG. I must have Star Trek on the brain now. . . That last photo (Steve Fambro, right?) brought to mind William Shatner. And a shuttle pod.
