A Stamford man's remains will be flown into space on the Aurora rocket launch.
Moran had a career that spanned over many different positions from working as a car rental agent to a theater ticket broker to working at the Brotherhood Synagogue in New York City.
His family says he was a dedicated "Star Trek" fan and often convinced his parents into letting him and his sister to stay up past their bedtimes just so they could watch "Star Trek" together.
