LN: "We love the Griffith Observatory... It's a crown jewel in the city... The first renovation in 66 years... It is a very exciting event for us... There never was a lecture or show space... for lectures, for demonstration."

SBN: "For necking, I mean you only have the Planetarium Theatre for holding hands, and kissing in the dark, now you have the Leonard Nimoy Event Horizon..."
LN: "Don't tell everything. Something should be a secret...  
Live transmissions from space...  creative opportunities... that's where my carrier began, it was all about theatrical places and events."     
SBN: "And it carries his name... "
 

LN: "A lot of work of my career has to do with space exploration. Going places where no one has gone before... Maybe there is something or somebody out there... The Griffith with the latest technology is on the absolute frontier for scientific exploration... There will be film, there will be video... It is the final frontier where the imagination goes... we are part of a gigantic cosmos...  It is so  extraordinary, and if you are connected to it it is exciting to go to the Observatory and have that experience."
