No, Vulcan crews were all officers as a matter of policy.
The one that crashed at Heathrow killed 3 Squadron Leaders, plus a tech rep from Avro.

Sounds like it was a pretty shoot design flaw TBH and yes, I've been inside the one at Carlisle Airport before you ask, '823 or whatever it is.

Sci Fi/horror and Film people, in a Zombie apocalypse, what would happen with people who have been cremated?
Would there just be large clouds of people swirling about or what? 🤔
This thought was triggered by a meme I saw earlier on unhinged advice that said that
"When someone says that a person would be 'spinning in their grave', point out that they were cremated, so it'd be more like a snowglobe situation".

Why is a puncture or broken spoke always the rear wheel (and drive side)?

I think Murphy made a law requiring it.

Why is it that every time you have a cough, at least one person always has to say to take hot water and honey. Is there a law making it mandatory and how do they choose the nominated person to tell you? Is it like Jury Duty or something?

It's not slow. It's the fastest thing there is. If you think it's slow compared to the size of space it's just that space is big. You just won't believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.
Well its not slow from our perspective.
On a cosmic scale it is barely moving at all.
Just over 8 minutes to get from the sun to here.
100000 years to cross our galaxy. And ours is nowhere near any other galaxies and is not even comparable is size to a really large galaxy. 46 billion years to cross the observable universe.
So yes, compared to the vastness of even what we can observe it is slow.

Well, on the 18th November, Voyager 1 will hit the milestone of being one light-day away from Earth.

.. which shows that even our finest spacecraft is considerably slower than light. Embarassing.

Who's this, when he was much younger?
I know the answer, but on first seeing it on a Facebook page I thought it looked like a young Frank Sinatra. Do you agree?
