Do you want a memorial on Laythe for Leonard Nimoy?

[BFGfreak]

I still think that a generic cylinder on Kerbin dedicated not just to Nimoy but to everyone who has ever inspired people to look up to the stars would be fitting, something simple such as this:

My goal wasn't to just create a memorial to Nimoy but rather to anyone who made you look up to the sky in awe who is no longer among us.

I think this thread is getting a bit too... politically correct or something.

Shouldn't we just be glad they added an Armstrong memorial at all?

[Jon144]

I don't understand all the hate for Nimoy now and for some reason Armstrong as well now.

What do you want to do? Have squad tear down Armstrong's memorial? You all seem so selfish.

Although some people deserve more credit than others that doesn't mean they don't deserve any credit at all.

Not to mention more memorials means more places to go to in-game and explore. The more Easter-egg hunting the better.

I vote yes and to be more specific I think a Monolith sized replica of the torpedo from ST:II/III with no writing on it and with the same shiny black texture on Laythe would be fitting. A subtle, stealth nerd tribute, just lying on the ground and no more or less "out of place" then the current monoliths or saucers.

What about a memorial wall at KSC for all those who sacrificed and inspired mankind in the pursuit of space

From Vladimir Komarov and Michael Adams through to now

I like that idea actually.

[TheSaint]

I voted yes because I think that Squad should put some sort of memorial to Leonard Nimoy in KSP. What and where is up to them.

I like this idea as well.

I like this idea as well.

Yeah that'd be pretty cool. Or maybe even the SQUAD black monoliths having a little hidden message on their back.

I agree! I am completely outraged by people's resistance to memorials to great, inspiring people...particularly those that inspire us to explore, not only the world around us, but the universe itself!

[tater]

"Hate?" "Outraged?" Really? I hardly think anyone is filled with hate, and I think being outraged is pretty hyperbolic.

Regarding Nimoy, for any good he did (inspiration, etc) in ST, don't forget he also hosted "In Search of" which was basically non-scientific crap painted as plausible/worth study (ancient astronauts, bigfoot, etc).

[Azimech]

I agree on a memorial for Nimoy ... but others as well, like astronauts.

Why not have 25 memorials ... maybe even 50 ... around the Kerbin system. Let the people vote on which names.

[Tex_NL]

Scattering memorials all over the map would take away their uniqueness and diminish their value.

Good thinking - another vote here for that idea.
