I seem to recall that (before STIII) Spock was reported to be 111 years old. I'm very unsure of the source -- either the pilot with Captain Pike or out of the Star Trek Reader series of books. First of all, can anyone substantiate this? Secondly, if this is true, what type of years are these -- Vulcan or Earther? And, finally, if Spock is 111 Earth years old, how can his mother, Amanda, still be kicking?!! I don't think Earth medical care by the 23rd century is enough to prolong life that much. In STII & STIII, Kirk is concerned with be- coming old after a mere 20 odd years of service. (15 years between first appearance of Khan and second appearance + ~3 years as Captain of the Enterprise before the first appearance of Khan + ~x years as Ensign on up.) Another good question! How old is James T. Kirk (as opposed to William Shatner), and how long has he been with Starfleet? Hope to hear from you soon!
