The DNA of George Washington will join that of the creator of Star Trek on a spacecraft for launch later this year
Hair samples from Dwight D. Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, Ronald Regan, and a completed human genome are also onboard “Humanity’s first deep space time capsule,” set to be launched into space on a rocket carrying an important lunar lander as a primary mission.
Houston “memorial spaceflight” company Celestis Inc. typically blasts urns of cremated ashes into space.
This year’s Enterprise Mission reflects most of what’s great about the modern space industry, and science-fiction fans.
When Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry died in 1991, it was 6 years later that some of his ashes were launched into deep space by Celetis in what most people found a fitting end for the science-fiction titan.
Now his wife, Majel Barrett Roddenberry, who passed away in 2008, will join her husband’s ashes floating around space when hers are launched aboard a “Vulcan” rocket.
As well as being sent up to space with the ashes of Star Trek actor, James “Scotty” Doohan, Nichelle Nichols, a DeForest Kelly, the mission will also be sporting a state-of-the-art moon lander designed by Astrobotics for payload missions to the moon.
