When beloved actor James Doohan passed away in 2005, it was announced that he wished to follow his friend Gene Roddenberry on a final mission to space, aboard a Celestis Memorial Spaceflight.
His wish will be honored later this year in October by Celestis, Inc., the pioneer and global leader in Memorial Spaceflights. A symbolic portion of the remains of Jimmy, writer/producer John Meredyth Lucas and others from around the world will be launched to space aboard the next two Celestis spaceflights: Legacy Flight and Explorers Flight.
Celestis invites friends and fans around the world to compose a tribute to Jimmy and Mr. Lucas, to honor them on their journey to Earth orbit. Your name and message of tribute will be placed on board the spacecraft.
