'Star Trek' actor's ashes heading to space this month

LAS CRUCES, New Mexico (AP) -- The ashes of James Doohan, who played chief engineer Montgomery "Scotty" Scott on the original "Star Trek" TV series, have been loaded into a rocket that is set to launch in New Mexico later this month.

The remains of Doohan, Mercury astronaut Gordon Cooper and some 200 others were loaded into the rocket Friday by Charles Chafer, chief executive of Celestis, a Texas company that contracts with rocket firms to send cremated remains into space.

"And we're ready to go," Chafer said after inserting the silver canister.
Jerry Larson, president of Connecticut-based UP Aerospace Inc., said the rocket will be launched April 28.

Families paid $495 to have a few grams of their loved one's ashes placed on the rocket.

Chafer said he's aware of the dedication of "Star Trek" fans.

"There's no doubt that we'll find a way to accommodate fans who travel here and want to be part of that experience," he said.

Doohan died in July 2005 at age 85.

The remains of "Star Trek" creator Gene Roddenberry were blasted into space in 1997.

I've been trying to find out where that rocket is going. Is it going to escape from the solar system, or will it eventually come back as "space dust"?

Oh God no.. .....I'd rather my dust/ashes, be on the moon or one of the planets. Mars would be nice....

For one thing, some parts of you would last a long time. The sun doesn't use heavier elements till close to the end of it's life.

Personally I'd like to be sunk in the ocean and picked to pieces.

Excuse my spelling but it's triffids. Their spores were distributed onto Earth after a huge flash of light blinded the population. Except for a few folk but the triffids got them in the end. Loved that movie as a kid. Read the book in grade 6 english. Had a cool teacher. Read Don Quiote then too.
This is 'Day of the Triffids'

Apologies, I thought you meant Tribbles. The little round fuzzy creatures having sex and procreating like there is no tomorrow.
