"I actually think it is pretty amazing that my father’s ashes got to go up in one of the first Celestis flights in 1997. I remember being very impressed that he was actually going to go where so few have gone before. So years later my mother said that she would love to one day accompany my father. I am very happy that she will join my father [on a Celestis mission]. For anyone who is forward thinking and really embraces the future that my father envisioned in Star Trek it really seems like a unique and cool opportunity to put yourself up there and orbit the Sun for 1000 or even one hundred thousands of years."-- Rod Roddenberry, son
