He flew many combat missions and was awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross and Air Medal.
After he left the military, he became a commercial pilot (which means he flew passenger aircraft) with Pan American World Airways. He then stopped flying in 1949 so he could write television shows. While writing he also worked in the police so he could provide for (look after) his family. In 1956, he quit his job as a policeman to write full time.
Roddenberry was married twice and had three children. He married Eileen Rexroat first, and they were married for 27 years. They had two daughters, Darlene (1947-1995) and Dawn (1953-). In the 1960s, he also started romantically seeing Nichelle Nichols and Majel Barrett (1932-2008). He divorced Rexroat and married Barrett in Japan in a traditional Shinto ceremony on August 6, 1969. They had a son, Eugene Wesley, Jr. Roddenberry's marriage to Barrett lasted until his death in 1991.
He died in 1991 of heart failure. He was 70 years old. In 1992, some of his ashes were sent into space on board the Space Shuttle Columbia. In 2012, some more of his ashes will be sent into space with his wife Majel's ashes.

Walter Koenig suggests Babylon 5 returnWalter Koenig has suggested that Babylon 5 could return in some form. The actor told fans at a recent Las Vegas Star Trek convention that series creator J Michael Straczynski is in talks to revive the show. "He told me that he is in negotiations to re-acquire the rights to Babylon 5 and it looks pretty good," said Koenig, who played Bester on the sci-fi drama. Koenig added that it is currently unclear what form the new Babylon 5 will take. "It could be a new series or it could be a feature film, but [Straczynski] was quite animated about it," he said. "He seemed very excited. "Warner Brothers is dealing with him in good faith. So you might see another Babylon 5 in the not too distant future." Babylon 5 originally aired on now-defunct network PTEN from 1994 to 1997 and on TNT for a final fifth season in 1998. The series also spawned six television films and short-lived spinoff series Crusade.
