"Star Trek's Roddenberrys to Spend Eternity in Space By Lewis Wallace January 27, 2009 | 2:07:13 PMCategories: Celebrity, Sci-Fi, Star Trek The late Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry and his recently deceased wife, Majel Barrett Roddenberry, are headed for space together. The Associated Press quotes Susan Schonfeld, a spokeswoman for "memorial spaceflights" company Celestis, about the couple's eternal voyage, scheduled for sometime in 2010: The couple's cremated remains will be sealed into specially made capsules designed to withstand the rigors of space travel. A rocket- launched spacecraft will carry the capsules, along with digitized tributes from fans. The Roddenberrys' remains -- and the spacecraft -- will travel ever deeper into space and will not return to Earth. Barrett Roddenberry played Nurse Chapel in the '60s television show her husband created and also gave voice to the starship Enterprise's computer. She died in December at age 76, and Gene Roddenberry died in 1991. Let's hope Celestis has better luck with this voyage than it did with the doomed launch of Scotty's remains." --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "R-SPEC: The Rochester Speculative Literature Association" group.
