'Star Trek's' Scotty sending ashes to space - Yahoo! News: "ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - Beam me up, indeed!
James Doohan, who played chief engineer Montgomery 'Scotty' Scott in the original 'Star Trek' TV series and several movies, will have a few grams of his ashes blasted 70 miles into space this fall from southern New Mexico.
Houston-based Space Services Inc. plans to have the ashes of 100 others aboard the Oct. 21 'memorial spaceflight' — among them, Gordon Cooper, one of the original seven Mercury astronauts.
Doohan died last July at age 85. His widow, Wende Doohan, said he would have wanted such a send-off. . ."
