Having forgotten to answer the last round, I'll have to try to crawl
back into it.

Yuri Gagarin.

First American to orbit the earth.

Lermontieff? (Or something like that. I used to know.)

> 5. Name anyone who walked on the Moon after Armstrong and Aldrin.

Alan Shepard (and Pete Conrad, Harrison Schmitt, Alan Bean(?), Jim
McDivitt(?), David(?) Scott, Wally Schirra -- I (shamefully) forget
the others, 12 in all)

> 6. Name any *two* people who have traveled as far as the Moon without

Frank Borman, Jim Lovell (Anders, Haise, I forget the others --
basically Apollos 8, 9, 10 and 13)

(Grr. I forget Salyut, and I've never heard of Buran.) I'll guess that
Salyut was designed to dock with Mir.

#6. 4 for Joshua, Rob, Dan Blum, Stephen, and Bill. 3 for Barbara.

#17. 4 for Joshua, Barbara, Rob, Erland, Dan Blum, Stephen, and Bill.

#9, #11. (Asked about the difference in appearance, Worf [#11] said,.
very gruffly, "We do NOT talk about it." Since this round was written,
an explanation was given on "Enterprise", or "Star Trek: Enterprise",
whatever it was called that year.) 4 for Barbara, Pete, Dan Blum,
Stephen, Dan Tilque, and Bill. 3 for Joshua.

> 4. There are two Borg, both on the same page. Identify *either*.

Dan Tilque, and Bill.

> 7. Trill.

#13. (The line of spots, she once said, goes "all the way down".)
4 for Joshua, Barbara, Rob, Stephen, and Bill.

One entrant commented:

| (To be accurate, Jadzia was the host -- the actual trill looks
| like a slug.)

That may have been correct in the "Star Trek: The Next Generation"
episode that first introduced the species, where a host on its own was
depicted as sort of zombie-like; but in "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine",
where Jadzia Dax (pictured) was a regular character, the slug was
called the "symbiont", it was clear that the host (Jadzia) and symbiont
(Dax) were both intelligent beings, and the name Trill did include
the host. A host carrying a symbiont was called a "joined Trill".

> 8. Ferengi.

#1. 4 for Joshua, Barbara, Marc, Rob, Pete, Dan Blum, Stephen,
Dan Tilque, and Bill.

> 9. Bolian. Mot, the ship's barber on "Star Trek: The Next Generation",

#23. 4 for Dan Blum, Stephen, and Dan Tilque. 3 for Joshua.
2 for Barbara.

> 10. Andorian. First seen on the same episode of the original series

#16.

4 for Barbara, Dan Blum, Stephen, and Dan Tilque.

And the others are:
#2. Vulcan or Vulcanian
#3. Pakled
#7. Talosian
#8. Jem-Hadar
#10. Bothan
#12. Human and Gorn
#14. android
#15. cat (one of the actual ones that was on ST:TNG)
#18. Barkonian
#21. Bynar
#22. Founder (a.k.a. changeling or shapeshifter)
#24. Cheronian
