captain we have visual!

yay for randy! :)

[ElGatoLoco698]

Who is Randy Pausch? And not to be a downer but the scene kinda made the guy sound a little slow. The captain had just said "cauterize the view screen". Meaning, let me see. Then a guy walks by and says "we have visual"? Kinda weird.

[ElGatoLoco698]

@ElGatoLoco698 *polarize not cauterize

[lehcarrrachel]

@ElGatoLoco698 RESPECT THE PAUSCH

[ElGatoLoco698]

@lehcarrrachel Now that I'm aware who Randy Pausch was, I respect the man immensely.

[Kruezoraxe]

@ElGatoLoco698 Randy Pausch was a computer science professor at Carnegie Mellon. He was diagnosed with terminal pancreatic cancer. He gave a talk called "Really achieving your childhood dreams" which became known as "The Last Lecture" as it really was the last lecture he would ever give as a professor. It became an internet phenomenon and it truly is remarkable.

One of his dreams was "to be Captain Kirk". J.J. Abrams decided to give him part of that dream by allowing him to cameo

[CoreyfromEarth]

I like this guy. He was really good in both Iron Man and Star Trek.

[maxlyger]

What a stud.

[FrYLocK41]

If you pause at 0:01 second, he has a badge on the left side of his chest and then at 0:03 second, its gone.

@FrYLocK41

[nighthawk006phoenix]

[NicksVideoDiary]

Zero cardasians watched this.

[lexy995]

So cool he got to live one of his dreams...Also, this was truly a wonderful gesture by J.J. Abrams and all those connected to Star Trek. Well done guys!

[z03isc001]

Thanks for posting this. Made my day.

[samuraikarasu]

He gave the money he made from this all to charity. That dude was a stone cold badass.

[Dancefusion]

vixit from latin translates to "he has lived" I feel you can safely say that about Prof. Pausch's life. I literally LOL as I watched this cameo....even is his final days he was fulfilling dreams....an inspiration to the end. Randy has not died he lives on in us, his students.

[dabogirl]

I did not know about this cameo and did not recognize him even though I saw this movie many times and even though Mr. Pausch had a very positive and powerful impact on my life. Thanks to chucky5p for posting this.

RIP.

[RawbThatPunk]

[zazupetals]

i'm glad that his kids got to have this as one of their fathers legacy - a sweet memory I'm sure his family will cherish forever.

Rest in peace

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH­HHH!

[JKShawhan]

his book was really good

i watched this movie just to see his cameo

i missed it though

[whatuswattingat]

RIP Randy. Your lecture meant so much to me, and I am glad that you lived your dream to be part of the Star Trek Universe.

[darkninjamandelta]

i read his book last lecture i never knew he was in this movie rip randy ....

[rlheng]

Kudos to J.J. Abrams for inviting Dr. Pausch to make the cameo! It will be so precious to his kids when they're old enough to see why their dad was a fan of Star Trek.

[kultx2]

God bless you Randy.

[rambam77]

Wonderful to see Randy achieve his dream. Thanks chucky for posting.

[ivantide]

R.I.P. Randy

[Djud3n]

great post. But they should've given him more airtime. but thats still awesome

[massfx7]

It's a shame we lost such a great guy. Thank you for posting this.

[CriticalDamage91]

Finally found him! That's funny. I thought he was the cadet on the Enterprise bridge before they arrive at Vulcan.

[jhorohawa104]

I was never a Star Trek fan, but I watched this movie just to see Randy Pausch in it, and I couldn't find him there. Long after the movie was released, I found him today. Thank you so much chucky5p for posting this!

[cadyrocksman]

heehee, what a silly line. so excellent that he was able to have a bit of that James T. Kirk dream!

[Kathilisi]

Thank you for posting this. I wanted to see this ever since I read about it on his homepage. "Don't blink" is good advice, but it must have been a great experience for him.

[RobertCrostonFilm]

that was so nice of them!

[jpmmartins]

Great! Thanks

[anyabelle]

Oh wow, I didn't know he was in the movie. I'm so thrilled to see him here!

Thank you chucky5p :)

[PhillipSenn]

OMG! I'm so going to have to share this with my Alice 2.0 programming class!

[bmyra]

Thanks for posting this chucky5p.

[Scrivener86]

I'll be damned he really is in the movie.

[VelocityTheory]

Didn't his character die in this movie? talk about typcasting, lolz.

he sure knew what he wanted and achieved it... good on you, randy.

[GGUBoss]

The man lived his dreams. All of them, including this one.

[beyondthetech]

Bless you and thank you, Professor / Ensign Pausch.

[Albuminas]

Thanks you Randy Pausch
