Episode Synopsis
In this episode of Trekking Through Compliance, we consider the episode The Galileo Seven, which aired on January 5, 1967, Star Date 2821.5
The Enterprise passes close to a quasar-like formation identified as Murasaki 312. Kirk sends a science team to investigate the formation. Soon after launch, the shuttle is pulled off course. Spock makes an emergency landing on Taurus II, a rocky, fog-shrouded world in the middle of the Murasaki phenomenon. The crew is attacked, and Spock chooses to attempt to frighten the creatures rather than kill them outright.
Spock then manages to get Galileo off the ground using the shuttle’s boosters. The shuttle has too little fuel to escape the planet’s gravity or achieve a stable orbit, and there is still no way to contact the Enterprise. Spock suddenly dumps and ignites the remaining fuel from the shuttle’s engines. The giant flare he produces is seen on the Enterprise view screen just as the ship has left orbit. The survivors are beamed out.
Back on board the Enterprise, Kirk questions Spock, trying to get him to admit that his final action was motivated more by emotion than logic. Spock refuses but freely admits to stubbornness, at which the rest of the crew burst into laughter.
Compliance Takeaways:
1. Why sometimes you must adhere to a culture’s traditions.
2. What is a risk?
3. As your risks change, you must re-evaluate your risk management strategy.
