in the Abrams Star Trek movies, who knew about old man Spock?

Besides Kirk, young Kirk and scotty, did they tell anyone else about old man Spock that he was from the future? did Uhura know a little bit or not?

what about the other surviving Vulcans? did they figure it out instantly but kept it a scecret?
 
I imagine Spock would have confided in Uhura. Certainly his father would be told - after all, with few Vulcans left, chances are they worked together at times to rebuild their society.
 
Someone knew he was called Ambassador Spock and served on the Enterprise and Enterprise-A (before such a ship had been built)

i do not think anybody else in the kelvin verse knew about who knew that the old spock is from the future because i think there is a strict rule in starfleet and the federation about time travel

I suspect he was fairly well known among the Enterprise crew and Starfleet top brass.

I really wish that Greg Cox novel had been published about the aftermath of ST'09, where various hostile factions were conspiring to use his future knowledge to nefarious ends. I think it was going to be called The Hazard of Concealing or something like that.

well im just saying, that besides Kirk, young kirk, Scotty and his little sidekick, there might have been a few of the surviving Vulcans that probably figured it that Old Spock is the from the future.

then in Star trek into darkness, dunno if Kirk and young Spock even discussed it with a few others like Bones and Uhura while keeping everyone else in the dark
 
I'd like to think Sarek was told at some point.

Perhaps not Sybok, assuming he survived Vulcan's destruction.
 
Everyone, apparently. The two Spocks have a public conversation in front of the Enterprise's bridge crew in STID where they discuss Spock Prime's knowledge of the future and as noted his death certificate in BEY lists his actual birth year and no one wonders why someone who was born thirty-three years earlier looks so elderly. The tie-in comics go with this interpretation to the point Spock Prime has to stand trial on Kelvin Romulus for his role in the destruction of Prime Romulus.
 
Doesn't matter. Your question has been answered. Lots of people knew Old Spock was from the future.

LOL. only Kirk, Scotty and young spock and Scotty's little sidekick. Just those only knew old spock being from the future. word wouldnt have gone around that quickly unless scotty got real drunk and blabbed to whatever was left of the Vulcans

Do you not read what other people post? Many more people knew who Spock Prime was than just them.
 
Admiral Marcus and Section 31 seemingly did NOT know in Into Darkness. I'd imagine nabbing Ambassador Spock and learning all his juicy future knowledge would've been a top priority. It might also have given him the hint that Khan was bad news.

It also wasn't Marcus's focus. A Vulcan from the future would simply decline to speak fully and any threat would impact fragile relationships.

Marcus wanted weapons of war. A Vulcan isn't the best idea.
