Another Star Trek Legend Honored With A Final Space Voyage
Michileen Martin - Yesterday 12:13 PM
Last month we learned that a portion of the ashes of Nichelle Nichols–who passed away at the end of July–would be joining the DNA of Star Trek creator Gene Roddenberry, Roddenberry’s wife as well as a Trek alum of multiple projects Majel Barrett, actor James Doohan, and visual effects master Douglas Trumbull on United Launch Alliance's Vulcan Centaur mission.
Today we learned another name has been added to those whose remains will soon start a fitting journey into deep space. The DNA of Star Trek: The Original Series star DeForest Kelley–who played Doctor Leonard “Bones” McCoy on the show and in many subsequent projects such as the first six Trek films–will be joining those of his late colleagues.
The press release from Celestis– .. https://www.celestis.com/participants-testimonials/jackson-deforest-kelley/ .. the Houston-based company that has been arranging similar space-bound memorials since the nineties–says that the DNA of Star Trek’s DeForest Kelley will join those of the other Trek alums on the upcoming space mission. While the primary goal of the mission is to deliver a robotic lander to The Moon, what’s being called the Enterprise Flight will also launch the partial remains of the Star Trek legends into deep space. A precise date for the mission hasn’t been announced, though it is expected to commence before the end of the year.
Star Trek wouldn’t be the same without DeForest Kelley. He’s jokingly remembered as the Enterprise’s doctor who utters the oft-repeated “He’s dead, Jim,” but his role was far more than the guy delivering the bad news. As an often emotional and fiercely opinionated member of the Enterprise crew, Bones played off the relatively cold stoicism and logic of Leonard Nimoy‘s Spock. As a result, while Bones consistently held to his ideals, he always played a different role depending on the story and his take on the events. He was sometimes the crew’s conscience, sometimes the voice of reason, sometimes a sober dose of reality, and other times an unwelcome element of chaos.
