The Final Frontier, Indeed

The mortal remains of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry and his wife Majel Barrett will be launched into space next year. Yes, seriously.

Roddenberry passed away in 1991, right before the release of, arguably, the best of the Star Trek movies, The Undiscovered Country. Barrett, who played Nurse Christine Chapel on the original TV series and in two of the feature films--as well as voicing the starship Enterprise's computer--died this past December.
