I reckon it is agreat story. The bloke was a genius at theat science fiction lark.

I remember when Star Trek first came on the box, the country was full of young and old watching Captain Kirk and his gangs exploits, bleeding marvellous.

Great him and his missus will be together in his beloved space.

The tribute is fitting. It reminds me of an episode from the original series called "Return to Tomorrow":

The life forces of Sargon and his wife are found in space and they are given new life through Kirk and a guest star babe of the week. Who knows? Maybe it'll happen to the Roddenberrys thousands of years from now.

My favourite is "The trouble with Tribbles". I reckon he was a genius who made sci- fi come back again after all them '50's B movies.

Gene Roddenberry and Majel Barret gave their wedding in Japan in the traditional Japanese style and attire. This would be back in the 60s? Now there's a pair of "pioneers" for this JT crowd.
