To go where no jug of ashes has ever gone before

The creator of ''Star Trek'' and his wife will spend eternity together in space. Celestis Inc., a company that specializes in ''memorial spaceflights,'' said Monday that it will ship the remains of Gene Roddenberry and Majel Barrett Roddenberry into space next year.

The couple's cremated remains will be sealed into specially made capsules designed to withstand the rigors of space travel. A rocket-launched spacecraft will carry the capsules, along with digitized tributes from fans. The Roddenberrys' remains -- and the spacecraft -- will travel ever deeper into space and will not return to earth, company spokeswoman Susan Schonfeld said.
To spend eternity in the infinite.
