‘Star Trek’ & Sci-Fi Legends’ Ashes To Be Sent Into Space!

James Doohan

You heard us right! The ashes of science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke, alongside the remains of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, James ‘Scotty’ Doohan and Roddenberry’s wife Majel Barrett, are to be sent into deep space.

The ashes will be on board Celestis, a memorial flight from Houston set to take off from November 2014. However, this wouldn’t be the first time Doohan and Roddenberry have had their ashes sent into space; they have also been aboard previous Celestis flights.

This seems to have been the plan for these men for some time, especially Clarke. Back in 1999, he donated a single strand of his hair to NASA to send into space. When asked about his donation he joked, “I’d give you more, but I don’t have anything to spare.”

Considering Jazmine grew up watching CARRY ON SCREAMING, THE LION KING and JURASSIC PARK on repeat for weeks on end, it made sense for her to study film at London South Bank University. It’s also a good thing that her course requires a lot of sitting down because she’s very accident-prone. When she’s not examining her bruises, she likes pretending that she doesn’t live in Southend-On-Sea and spends hours mindlessly blogging. Favourite films include BLUE VALENTINE, ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS MIND and TOY STORY 2.
