I liked the first two seasons of Andromeda; IMHO the series declined after they fired series developer/lead writer Robert Hewitt Wolfe between seasons two and three.

When did Gene Roddenberry marry Nurse Chapel? I became aware of the fact that they were married at the time he died, because she was talking about having his ashes sent into space. (Did that ever happen?)

According to his IMDB bio they were married in 1969. And yes, some of his ashes were carried into space on a rocket mission launched from Vandenberg.

That's pretty cool. Do you know if they were put in orbit, or were they sent off into space? Also thanks for the link to the IMDB bio page. I learned a few things I didn't know. I didn't realize that nurse Chapel was in her mid-30's during TOS(!)

Or that he survived two plane crashes! wow...
