I was saddened to hear of the passing of Star Trek guest star Yvonne Craig. Her memorable performance as Marta helped make “Whom Gods Destroy” a highlight of Trek’s third season.
Aside from Star Trek, the dancer and actress is best known for the way in which she inspired a generation of young women with her portrayal of a fiercely independent and intelligent Batgirl in Batman ‘66, a version of the character that resonates even today.
She died at home, surrounded by her family. Ms. Craig was 78 years old.

Why do we explore? Simply put, it is part of who we are, and it is something we have done throughout our history. In “We Are the Explorers,” we take a look at that tradition of reaching for things just beyond our grasp and how it is helping us lay the foundation for our greatest journeys ahead. So what are we doing to enable exploration? We’re building the Orion spacecraft is built to take humans farther than they’ve ever gone before. Orion will serve as the exploration vehicle that will carry the crew to space, provide emergency abort capability, sustain the crew during the space travel, and provide safe re-entry from deep space return velocities. Orion will launch on NASA’s new heavy-lift rocket, the Space Launch System.
