From Scientologists to evangelical Christians to mini-messiahs that paraded around in full regalia (mostly a robe, a loin cloth and a conch full of burning sage) there was no shortage of wackadoodles to join up with or be abducted by.

Astronauts often return with a greater distaste for warĪfter traveling to space, astronauts gain a greater understanding of how precious, and delicate, the Earth is. "I wept for the Earth because I realized it's dying," Shatner said. "People often cry when they first see the Earth from space," he said.
