Space date set for Scotty's ashes
Star Trek actor James Doohan, who
played Scotty in the series, will have
his final wish granted when his ashes
are sent into space on 6 December.
Doohan died of Alzheimer's disease and
pneumonia in July, aged 85. His ashes
will be accompanied by thousands of
tributes from fans of the sci-fi show.
"James spent so much time with fans and
many want to come to his space blast,"
a Space Services Inc spokeswoman said.
The firm will fire the ashes into orbit
from a California Air Force base.
