Chris Fenoglio, artist who worked on the Lower Decks ongoing comic book series, recreated the iconic pin-up of X-Men in swimsuits for the Lower Decks crew. Even some non-crew got featured (to fully recreate every detail of the original).
I wish I was Rutherford. I'd be a guy that couldn't pass Starfleet Academy (not sure I'd even get in, they reject applicants right? I don't actually know)
Starfleet Academy is basically just going to higher education right? That's how I always saw it, you would complete your required education and then if you wanted you could go to university, and one of the options was Starfleet. So presumably anyone who graduates is essentially automatically eligible to join.
Presumably some people don't join though, they only go to the academy to learn how to be an engineer or a pilot and then go work on the civilian ship.
Generally a solid channel that's mostly star trek but has covered blade runner, halo, mass effect, and a few other things. It's simply the tendi bit that grates.
