Una de las noticias más tristes del día fue la muerte de Leonard Nimoy a los 83 años y es que el actor era querido por todo el mundo y recordado por su participación como el Dr. Spock en la serie de Star Trek.
Como muestra de la relevancia de su muerte es que Barack Obama, Presidente de los Estados Unidos, compartió una carta en donde hablaba sobre su encuentro con Nimoy y lo que significó esta noticia para él.

Long before being nerdy was cool, there was Leonard Nimoy. Leonard was a lifelong lover of the arts and humanities, a supporter of the sciences, generous with his talent and his time. And of course, Leonard was Spock. Cool, logical, big-eared and level-headed, the center of Star Trek’s optimistic, inclusive vision of humanity’s future.
I loved Spock.
In 2007, I had the chance to meet Leonard in person. It was only logical to greet him with the Vulcan salute, the universal sign for “Live long and prosper.” And after 83 years on this planet – and on his visits to many others – it’s clear Leonard Nimoy did just that. Michelle and I join his family, friends, and countless fans who miss him so dearly today.
