Happily, not of the volcanic type. On April 21 1997, a capsule carrying Gene Roddenberry's ashes was shot into space on a Pegasus XL rocket. Don't know if this kind of thing will happen again, what with the downsizing of the space program, but it couldn't have happened to a better guy. And apparently he could use this anniversary publicity. I was speaking with a young colleague lately about the original Star Trek. He thought we were speaking of Next Generation! Quelle horreur! We have DVD's of the
actual original Star Trek so there's no excuse. Get to watchin', young-uns.

not Next Generation.

I'm getting an image of GR's ashes, riding on Pegasus, coming out of the head of Medusa
Surely there was a Medusa episode in the original Trek?
