People currently alive who would get ships named after them in Trek...

Re: People currently alive who would get ships named after them in Tre

USS Tenzin Gyatso or failing that: USS Lhamo Dondrub
 
Re: People currently alive who would get ships named after them in Tre

I think Richard Dawkins had a Class 2 shuttle named after him in VOY: "Life Line"
 
Re: People currently alive who would get ships named after them in Tre

How could I forget?

U.S.S. Jack Layton
 
Re: People currently alive who would get ships named after them in Tre

U.S.S. Leonard Nimoy
 
Re: People currently alive who would get ships named after them in Tre

USS Peter Higgs. At least in theory. It probably does exist already, but we'll wait for official confirmation.

USS Tim Berners-Lee. I went on that ship, and I found THIS. :lol:

USS Brian Edward Cox. A ship of "woonder." :D Its dedication plaque reads: "Things can only get better."

USS Jim Al-Khalili. If that ship can go faster than warp 10, I'll eat my own underpants. ;)

USS Gunther von Hagens. Imagine taking that ship apart and examining its innards...

Although he is dead already, I'm surprised I haven't seen - or just don't remember seeing or hearing about a USS Nikola Tesla.

The Ship named after the Dali Lama could be a science or medical ship, that would never be expected to be in battle.

The USS Cheney would go around shooting older starships in the bow.

USS Pat Benatar (Invincible is on the radio right now.)
USS Stephen G.Wozniak
USS Robert Gallo
USS Luc Montagnier
USS John Williams
USS Stephen Hawkings (But wasn't there a ship named after him already?)

U.S.S. Sally Ride

U.S.S. Craig Ferguson

Well, I would name a ship after him. :D

"It's a great day for the Federation, everybody!"
 
Re: People currently alive who would get ships named after them in Tre

Tesla for a science ship
Hoagland for an exploration/science ship
Mother Teresa as a medical/rescue ship
John Paul as a ship for lending aid (it's a Polish thing)
Kennedy (only president I ever had respect for)
 
Re: People currently alive who would get ships named after them in Tre

And he did not know about it?

Unknown, but most likely Joseph Kennedy, Sr. - SOB that he was - did not rig the election. The Kennedy family patriarch had the power and money to make JFK's win much larger than the razor thin margin it was. He knew enough that a win by a large, but not huge, margin would deflect the scrutiny a small victory would bring.

Ronald Reagan......Oh please gimmme a break. Maybe Carl Sagan

Most political figures will by the 23rd/24th centuries have disappeared into the mists of history, Reagan is one of the ones who I believe will persist. I can see a mighty starship USS Reagan traveling the stars.

And a science vessel Sagan too (why not).

Sgt Pepper
Ziggy Stardust.

:)
 
Re: People currently alive who would get ships named after them in Tre

Well what political figures from the 20th/21st century would we expect a ship to be named for.

Churchill?
