Majel Barret Roddenberry recently passed away. Majel was the wife of Gene Roddenberry, the creator of Star Trek. The couple's cremated remains are to be launched into space.
As I was reading the article about this, I was thinking that space was a fitting place for the man who made a household phrase of To boldly go where no man has gone before.
Then I got to thinking it was too bad that technology had not advanced to where the couple's remains could have been transported into space.
So wasn't I surprised when I read just a few days later that science has made the first successful step toward a Star Trek-like transportation.
It seems they haven't yet perfected matter transportation, but the transportation of knowledge between similar life forms has been achieved.
I hope science can make knowledge transportation an everyday occurrence really quickly. We could use a whole lot of common sense being spread around right about now.
