He died at home. He had flu like symptoms for the last week. He is survived by his wife Ursula. This was unexpected and a shock to everyone. Ursula is still making plans and will likely want a simple remembrance. Sam will coordinate and we will keep you informed of plans. Jesco was a tremendous representative of NASA. Jesco will be missed. His passing is a reminder to all of us that each day is precious."[/i]</BLOCKQUOTE> For Star Trek geeks, von Puttkamer served as special science advisor on the first Star Trek film, "Star Trek: The Motion Picture." Among others, Puttkamer came up with the theory behind the faster-than-light warp speed drive, and the slogan "The Human Adventure is Just Beginning," according to Memory Alpha. Puttkamer also wrote the short story "The Sleeping God" for the 1978 anthology The New Voyages 2. [/B][/QUOTE]
