Star Trek actor to fly in space · 2007-04-28 17:16
The ashes of Star Trek actor James Doohan are due to be launched into space from a site in New Mexico.
Doohan, who played the no-nonsense chief engineer Montgomery “Scotty” Scott, died aged 85 in 2005.
“I will be there to see the launch, knowing that Jimmy is participating in an industry which he loved so very much,” Doohan’s widow Wende said in a press release.
Launching a single gram of ashes costs $495, while sending remains into deep space, a service which comes into effect from 2009 will cost up to ??12,500.
