Hmm... I haven't watched the film for yarons, but that ain't aboard the Orion III, is it? That's going from SS1 to Luna!Gimbal Locke wrote:Miss Simmons, Captain Tynes & First Officer Ballard [snip]

Re: Science Fiction Trivia
Which figure of religious significance had a shopping list which read "Pound pastrami, can kraut, six bagels"?
Re: Science Fiction Trivia
The shopping list was discovered by a novice monk, along with potentially more useful items such as letters, blueprints, and other relics.
Re: Science Fiction Trivia
Still no-one? The book is in three parts, chronicling the work of a monastery over several hundred years to recover lost technology, and the figure's name appears in the book's title. One of the items in the above list of relics is more significant than the others.
