When Ralph Kramden threatened to pop his Alice “to the Moon!” it’s unlikely he would have dropped 10,000 dollars to do it.В Star TrekВ fans, however, will be relieved that their favorite husband and wife team, Star Trek creatorВ Gene RoddenberryВ and his producer/actress wife,В Majel, will spare no expense to make it to the Moon — or rather, deep space — together.
Jan. 26, theВ Celestis Memorial Flight ServiceВ announced plans to send the dynamic space duo on the maiden voyage of the USS Voya– er, the Voyager Memorial Spaceflight Service. It’s mission: to seek out and find a suitable eternal resting place. Launch date, 2012.
The flight will carry a payload of several ounces of the Roddenberry’s cremated ashes, as well digitized tributes to the couple fromВ Star TrekВ fans.
We recommend a launch date of May 10, 2012. On this date the asteroid Roddenberry will form an exact conjunction at 7+ degrees Aries with the hyper-spacey, futuristic planet Uranus. Asteroid Roddenberry will also form a trine that day with two points in Saggitarius, the sign of long-distance travel. The two points are the North Node and the asteroid Juno. The North Node gives us a symbol of our future; Juno is the sign of the wife. Clearly the future for Majel Roddenberry could be aВ veryВ long-distance trip. Getting shot into space would certainly qualify.
We wish them both a peaceful voyage.
