Here's an interesting one. I assume you sci-fi buffs have all heard that the Peregrine Lander failed on its bid to the Moon? Well...
''Controversially, the spacecraft is also carrying human remains, including those of science fiction writer Arthur C. Clarke; Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry; Roddenberry's wife, Majel Barrett; and Nichelle Nichols, James Doohan and DeForest Kelley, who played Nyota Uhura, Montgomery Scott and Dr. Leonard McCoy, respectively, on the classic sci-fi show. Stored alongside these remains are samples of DNA of the U.S. presidents George Washington, Dwight Eisenhower, John F. Kennedy, and Ronald Reagan.''
We've lost the ashes of Gene Roddenberry and the TOS crew. And there is no retrieving them. As tragic as this is, it is also an incredibly ironic end for the cast of TOS to be going where no man has gone before.
