The late “Star Trek” star Nichelle Nichols will travel to the final frontier, one last time.
On Thursday, Celestis Inc., a company that originated and specializes in memorial spaceflights, announced that it has organized an unapologetically Trekkie mission to send a “symbolic portion” of the actor’s cremated remains to the stars.
Nichols, who was perhaps best known as the USS Enterprise’s communications officer Lt. Uhura, died in July.
