" La ville de Vulcain, heureuse de Trek, a peut-être connu sa journée la plus mémorable le 23 avril 2010, lorsque Leonard Nimoy s'est rendu pour dévoiler un buste en bronze de l'officier scientifique de Starship Enterprise Spock et a pressé sa main vivante et prospère dans une dalle de sable humide. ciment. Le piédestal comprend la main de Spock dans un salut vulcain. "Je n'ai jamais vécu une expérience aussi touchante que celle que j'ai ici aujourd'hui", a-t-il déclaré à une foule enthousiaste, dont beaucoup portaient des tenues proches de celles portées par l'équipe de l'Enterprise dans la série originale.

Nimoy est décédé moins de cinq ans plus tard, mais chaque visiteur de Vulcain peut toujours mettre la main sur l'empreinte de Spock. Une plaque d'accompagnement cite Nimoy: "Spock est définitivement l'un de mes meilleurs amis.""
