Beaming him up one last time


The cremated remains of actor James Doohan, "Scotty" from "Star Trek", will be launched into space today if plans go ahead as scheduled. Doohan's remains, along with 200 others including Apollo 7 astronaut Gordon Cooper and aboard a private rocket scheduled to launch from Spaceport America in the New Mexico desert.

The first attempt at this in September failed, the rocket crashed. Let's hope the transporting beams them all up into the universe this time.

If all goes as planned Saturday, the cremated remains of the actor who portrayed "Scotty" aboard Star Trek's starship Enterprise will sail into suborbital space aboard a rocket launched from the southern New Mexico desert.

The remains of Gene Roddenberry, who created "Star Trek," were sent into space in 1997.
