I will always remember where I was when I learned that Mr. Spock died. I was standing up in my cubicle at work when Charlie, a coworker, got the news on his smart phone and announced it. You expect Vulcans to live a long time, but it's still a shock to the system when they go. I guess he was half human.
This is not the first time that Mr. Spock died. You may recall that he gave up his life once for the good of the many when he entered the matter - anti matter reactor on the star ship Enterprise to make repairs that saved the ship and everyone on board. He lost his life this first time only to take it up again after his internment on the Genesis planet where they tested the Genesis effect of terraforming worlds.
The Genesis effect resurrected Spock, but he was never quite the same after that. He seemed transformed by the process. Many thought he would live forever after that. As it turns out, he did not. He went the way of all humanoids. He will now return to dust.
He did indeed live long and prosper. Rest in Peace Mr. Spock
