Title: Gene and Majel Roddenberry to spend eternity in space
Post by: delalluvia on January 26, 2009, 09:50:59 pm
Celestis Inc., a company that specializes in "memorial spaceflights," said Monday that it will ship the remains of Gene Roddenberry and Majel Barrett Roddenberry into space next year.

The couple's cremated remains will be sealed into specially made capsules designed to withstand the rigors of space travel.

Thanks for posting that, del.  I was wondering if Majel would go into space along with Gene.

Interesting that some of his ashes were sent into space already and some are being held back to be sent with his wife's. An echo of Jack.
