Star Trek’s Vulcan Salute: Live Long and Prosper #StarTrek
Peace and long life. The iconic Vulcan salute was first seen and heard during The Original Series, and since then it has appeared throughout the Star Trek franchise (but apparently not in Deep Space 9).
The YouTube video below documents the use of the famous greeting from TOS to Prodigy.
Fun facts: the V-shaped sign was suggested by Leonard Nimoy based on hand gestures he had observed in synagogues in his youth, while the phrase “live long and prosper” was coined by writer Theodore Sturgeon.

Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, TinyGO, or even use the Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for CircuitPython, MakeCode, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.
Have an amazing project to share? The Electronics Show and Tell is every Wednesday at 7pm ET! To join, head over to YouTube and check out the show’s live chat – we’ll post the link there.
