Remember Starfleet Academy's infamous no-win scenario, the Kobayashi-Maneuver?

Only one man was able to come out if it alive (well, he cheated a little bit). Of course Captain Kirk!

While there is not yet a James Kirk road near NASA's headquarters, they still honored him by naming the main road crossing NASA Parkway after this fictional Class III neutronic fuel carrier-ship. (We checked it out, there really is no other meaning for Kobayashi).

Which Series or Movie?: The Wrath of Khan

Is there an admission charge?: No
