Late last year, Celestis Memorial Spaceflights announced their next flight. Dubbed the Enterprise mission, it will see the remains of several Star Trek luminaries journeying into the final frontier on the Vulcan Centaur rocket. Since the announcement, I’ve had the pleasure of interviewing friends and family members of the late, great cast and crew who will be blasting off next month. Throughout the month of April, I’ll be releasing those interviews. First up: Colby Youngblood, CEO of Celestis.

The mission is scheduled to blast off on May 4, 2023, and you’ll be able to stream it live. Launch dates and times can change up to the last minute based on several variables, including weather conditions, so for the latest launch status, head over to https://www.celestis.com/launch-schedule/enterprise-flight/.
