It's a shame that fantasy couldn't be the reality.
Hard to say what the future will say. I personally thought he was brilliant.

I was thinking that the next spacecraft as in the class of the Pioneers 10 and 11 and the Voyagers (all destined for interstellar) be called Roddenberry Spacecraft. I'm not sure if New Horizon will be interstellar but at least the next spacecraft should be named after him. Especially if it will be intentionally allowed to leave the solar system once its mission is done. Also I hope that whenever and if ever that is done, that NASA repeat the efforts of New Horizon. Placing a CD disk with the names of people submitted to go with the craft. I did that with New Horizon. Needless to say, I have enormous interest on that craft.

As the greatest visionary of our time. As long as there is a space program there will be an Enterprise in it. If we inhabit more than one planet we will call that joint government a Federation of Planets. That government will probably look to the words of Roddenberry to architecture its policies for space travel and interaction. Much like a modern Jean-Jacques Rousseau. All of the great minds today are fans of his and will be influenced by his ideals.

So many of his "fantasy " things have become a reality. This is his tribute and the way he will be remembered I hope. Many things that he employed in the programmes have yet to be invented,or are on the drawing board and so are on-going. Not to mention the programmes themselves, so may his memory live long and prosper. Also a major contributor to the acceptance of multi-racialism and sexual equality in 20th century America

I hope the Great Bird of the Galaxy is remembered as a fun-loving visionary with a hope-filled view of our future as a united planet. What a coincidence that I was watching an old Star Trek rerun with my 17-year-old daughter today, and when Kirk closed his communicator with a flip, she said "hey, that's just like your cell phone!", and I said "that's where they got the idea". He was a practical visionary.

A fitting Tribute???
Creating a world where people are more interested in "pursuits of happyiness" than killing each other.

I think he will be remembered mostly for Star Trek. He was also the first person to be buried in space and he received the Distinguished Flying Cross for his service in WWII.

I think he already has his tribute--the Starship Enterprise hangs in the Smithsonian.
