There is no doubt that the late legendary actor Nichelle Nichols belongs to the stars. Nichols is best remembered for her role as Lieutenant Nyota Uhura on the cult-favorite Star Trek series. As a tribute, the earthly remains of the actor will reportedly be sent to space on a Vulcan Centaur rocket for one final and eternal expedition around the sun later this year.
