'Scottys' Ashes to be Launched into Space
A few grams of James Doohan's ashes will be launched 70 miles into space this fall from a south New Mexico rocket site by Houston-based Space Services, Inc. Doohan, who played Chief Engineer Montgomery "Scotty" Scott on original "Star Trek" TV series, died at his home in Redmond, Washington last July and had told relatives he wanted his ashes blased into outer space.
Space Services spokeswoman Susan Schonfeld said, "So far on that flight we have 100 customers. But if I gave you a good guess, I'd expect it will be well over 100. Everybody wants to be on the same rocket as James Doohan. He was so beloved." I guess you could say people were dying to go along. Link
