A Stamford man's remains will be flown into space on the Aurora rocket launch.

Robert "Bobby" A. Moran will be honored during the launch out of New Mexico's Spaceport America.

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.

Moran was always fascinated by space and dreamed of going since childhood.

Now with Celestis, his family says they are able to make that dream possible.
