I will not be cremated and I have seen the plot of Javanese soil where my remains will be buried at some point in, presumably, the next 10-20 years. Even if a wealthy Star Trek fan offered to cremate my body and launch it into solar orbit, I don't think my family would be interested.

I could arrange to have launched into solar orbit before you died?

LOL @ the gooster!

This isn't YOUR thread you're just the OP of it!!! You'll eventually get the hang of how it works. 🙂 😛

The writers did not give her much material to work with. Nonetheless, she became an iconic figure for 1960s American tv.

unless my groggy reading is impaired this morning, solar orbit is the same as heliocentric orbit, but with fewer syllables
so her ashes won't orbit earth, but the local star
this makes me happy
