On February 19, 2004, the stars and crew of Star Trek: Voyager rubbed elbows with NASA astronauts and scientists in an event commemorating the launch of the Season One Voyager DVD (on February 24) and honoring the National Aeronautics and Space Administration for their efforts to make science fiction -- the exploration of our galaxy -- into science fact. CARPE's favorite photographer, Michael J. Fijolek, was there and kindly provided these photographs to the Official Robert Picardo Web Site.
